I love Maria - have been working with her for over 3 years now. Through your work with her, you quickly realize that she is the most giving person genuinely caring about your success. I have received responses to my questions at 3 am, gotten cards and stars for my success and always felt inspired leaving the appointments. She stays involved by attending many educational events and is always full of little tidbits of knowledge delivering them with a quirky sense of humor. Would highly recommend because this girl is more than a dietitian - she is a coach, a friend, a cheerleader, and an educator.

Lovely office with beautiful, caring ladies. I originally brought in my father for his high cholesterol and blood pressure. Seeing his numbers reverse to normal in 12 weeks made me want to take better care of myself. Although I live far away, Maria was willing to do Skype sessions with me and I have been able to lose 10 lbs in the past two months as well. I have learned lots about how my body works, but also received meal and snack ideas that are realistic for my life. Good, caring people.

I came to Maria 3 years ago being about 60 lbs overweight. She is very knowledgeable in nutrition, stern when needed, but is also a truly loving person who cares deeply for other people. Upon leaving, I knew that she cared way beyond her regular office hours.
At this point I am at my goal weight and am only checking in once a month for fresh ideas and support. Consistently, Maria remains creative with new recipe ideas. She also provides inspiration with big gold stars, a red carpet, and pom-poms.
I love her because she is SMART, REAL, and non-judgmental. She has been down this path and is prepared to hold your hand all the way. Go see her - HIGHLY recommend.

Be warned.....i went to Maria Bella at Top Balance Nutrition with issues related to acid reflux and weight loss. While she was very nice and accommodated my need to reschedule my first appointment, I found her services unprofessional, not helpful and incredibly light. We talked for an hour, she never asked to see my bloodwork or really asked me about lifestyle. Before you see her , she asks that you complete a food diary over several days which I brought with me. During my appointment she never looked at my diary so that was a warning that she doesn't use that information to assess a clients issues and situation At the end she said that she wanted me to text her pictures of my meals, as a way to keep a food diary. She also said that it helps her see what is going on and to be able to comment and gives clients an opportunity to ask questions. Then she handed me a few pages of a sample menu that i was unable to use because i mostly cook my own meals. I walked away with many questions but made an effort to implement some of the suggested changes. A couple of weeks later i was feeling a little lost so i sent her a message saying so and she asked me to call her at a certain time. I called her at that time but she never answered so i left a message. I also called the receptionist and left a message there as well. That was a couple of months ago and I'm still waiting for a call back! Since then, i found another nutritionist who asked for blood work in order to assess my health situation and talked to me at length about my habits and lifestyle and crafted a menu with me. I am feeling much better now. Being in the hands of a true professional makes all the difference in the world.

I will absolutely return. I fell in love with Maria from day one when I met her - she is fun, understanding, and incredibly generous.

I had an amazing experience every time I came in. Not only do my appointments never get canceled last minute, they take time out of their day to send me a reminder so I don't forget. They are extremely reliable. I was so impressed with the progress I was able to make after visiting them. All my questions were answered, and I feel a lot more confident and hopeful about the future.
