Hear What Vicki's Patients Have to Say...

I started seeing Vicki after numerous attempts to “control” my food. I suffered from an eating disorder for years, so my food issues run deep and Vicki has been instrumental in helping me change my thoughts and behaviors when it comes to food and nutrition. I never in a million years thought I’d have a healthy relationship with food and Vicki not only believes it is possible, she has encouraged and helped me believe it too. The direction and support she gives along with the love you feel can’t be described in words. I don’t know where I’d be without her help and I am grateful that I don’t ever have to find out. - Anonymous

I once had an eating disorder, and at that time, I never imagined being able to say that in past tense. Living under the pressures of my own inner monster, I felt defeated, weak, and crushed in the battle between the last flickering light of myself and the powerful voice I named Ana. Throughout the hardships, tears, and sadness, I decided to get help, and then I met Vicki. At first, Ana sought a way to fight her, trick her into her evil schemes, but Vicki never fell. She held on to me as though her life, not just mine, depended on it. However, the recovery was not automatic; rather it was a lengthy process with high points and very, very low points. What began as a mere desire to be thin turned into an obsession that led to sadness and depression. Yet, I had a backbone, a team, a fan-club, that cheered me on and found its way into my head. Before I knew it, every time Ana would strike in the battlefield on my brain, there was a powerful echo of Vicki’s voice that shut her down. With a lot of work, struggle, and love, we made it through it. Both Vicki and I triumphed over one of the hardest things I have ever and will ever confront in my life, and if it wasn’t for my partner, I would never have survived.   - Anonymous

Vicki Hatch is an inspirational woman and an excellent guide through the difficult journey of weight loss.  She has helped me through the biggest challenges and has always been there for me when I needed her the most.  Her attention to detail and listening skills have kept me on track. Her one on one lectures have reversed my pattern of thinking from living to eat and binge to eating to live for survival.  Her teachings have led me to shed 32 lbs even with my Thyroid hormone imbalance. I am so happy I have met her. - Anonymous

I am general pediatrician in Aventura and have worked with Vicki and her practice for almost 8 years. We have complex patients with high expectations. We always receive positive feedback from our patients who consult her. She is quite effective in helping our overweight children achieve control of their nutrition habits. She also has worked extensively with our mutual eating disorder patients. She is thorough, kind, conscientious, and professional in all her interactions with our office and patients. - Leah Glaser-Echarte, M.D.
  
I have known Vicki for many years and have been using her regularly to help my patients meet their nutritional goals. She has consistently provided an exceptional level of service. In addition to her skills as a dietitian, she is also very  reliable, easy to communicate with, and establishes a quality rapport with her patients.  She has a very caring nature and a true desire to help patients achieve a healthier lifestyle. Furthermore, in my experience she is one of the very few dietitians that have helped substantial number of patients successfully realize meaningful weight loss. - Leonard Thaler MD, FACE
