Nutrition and Wellness Institute

She doesn’t listen. She wanted me to try things that I’ve already done and caused me to gain weight. I explained that I came to her wanting to try something new so she told me to eat soup (something I did for months on the GAPS diet). She also wanted me to eat foods I told her made me feel lethargic and sick to my stomach. Just not good advice. I also found her condescending and not taking my experiences and knowledge into account (I’m a personal trainer and have spent ten’s of thousands going to doctors for help with my weight and digestion issues). I wouldn’t recommend her.

After posting my review I received the following email. I don’t think anyone wants to use a provider who resorts to bullying and extortion:
I definitely understand your frustration with the $ 175 missed appt. charge for your third missed appt. And I understand that you are, like myself, a hardworking mother, and a busy professional. That’s why I hoped to keep a good working relationships with you, and hoped you would appreciate the fact that you haven’t (to this point) been charged for all the missed appts, as well as the charge back fees for your CC.
However, if you keep spending my time, I unfortunately would need to charge the full amount that you currently owe.
I hope you take responsibility for your missed appts, and take time to remove your Unilocal review.

Dr. Murtazina seemed very knowledgable about the functions of the body and what it needs to be healthy. She taught me lots about digestion that made lots of sense. Overall my experience was not a good one. I didn’t feel comfortable throughout the appointment, at times I felt disrespected by the way she would speak to me and quiz me at times to test if i was absorbing the information. Which I guess could be one way to go about this but I didn’t sit well with me. We covered very few topics and when I asked questions about other things she insisted we speak about them at a future appointment which made me feel money was on her mind. I also felt her dietary suggestions and comments were a little bit too unrealistic. I left feeling worried, discouraged and belittled.
