Services
We teach our patients new skills or reinforce current skills, so that they can get to know and trust their own body cues, move away from diet rules (and rule breaking), learn better and more insight-oriented coping strategies. Our goal is to move towards a more natural, balanced, self-led style of eating and relationship with food.
We provide the best care for you through our wide-range of nutrition services for individuals, groups and businesses. We seek to best meet our patients' needs and proudly offer bilingual support in Spanish, Hindi, and Haitian Creole. With the two-person option, we can support a parent & child, spouses, and significant others.
Our wide-range of services allow us to meet the needs of working professionals, athletes, or overwhelmed individuals looking to live a healthier lifestyle. Many individuals who have been diagnosed with a disease like diabetes or cardiovascular seek nutrition counseling to help manage their condition.

I met by video with Melissa Sirolli this morning to seek advice addressing SIBO and several other health conditions, regarding what to eat and how I might be able to reduce the diarrhea from SIBO. She is extremely knowledgeable and a very clear communicator. She answered my many questions, and worked with me patiently and in detail to develop a plan that was tailored to my situation, not at all "off the shelf." She recommended changes in my diet for each daily meal and snacks, as well as how best to time my eating throughout the day, and suggested an exercise program within my capabilities

Erika helped me change my life-long eating habits that honestly changed my life!
I learned how to be mindful of every meal, not only just nutritional but also the emotional aspect. How to diverge my stress so it doesn't resolve in food, how to maintain my insulin level throughout the day so I don't binge eat, and so many other things.
After a few months of consulting with Erika, I've been able to maintain the habits and utilize the knowledge for about two years now, and I'm pretty confident it will stick with me forever.
Highly recommend!

Felt a little misled. I met with Nikita after reading her bio and seeing that she has experience with both eating disorders and weight management. I expressed interest in improving my relationship with food, while also being mindful of my weight. She dismissed it pretty quickly and suggested that weight may not be something that can be managed at all (and that it wouldn't be factored in if we worked together). No disrespect towards her school of thought--if her style works for you, that's great! I believe the positive reviews. But if you're looking for the same thing I was, I recommend

Nikita was great ! Very understanding and patient.
She was thorough in teaching me a new way of modifying my diet and how to make it better. She also helped me with after surgery diet and walked me through those steps thoroughly.
Honestly, cannot say greater things about her. Her office staff was also amazing and responded quickly.
Highly recommend her.

*Update after the response from the practice:*
The point is, as pointed out by the insurance side, patients should not bear the burden of calling insurances asking for info this complicated. Rather, your office should work with insurances to inform patients about pricing. You basically outsource the front desk / billing department's job to your patients.
*Original Review*
I never make it to the appointment because they have a really wired system of asking patients to call insurance with CPT and diagnosis codes.
I actually called my insurance, and they told me, first of all, it's not normal

I had my first nutrition visit with Julianka Bell today and I left feeling hopeful. She is so knowledgeable about food sensitivity and had really customized strategies for me to use to try and help me figure out my food sensitivties and what may be causing my inflammation. She listened to my health issues and tailor made a plan of foods, supplements, and tests that can help me get a handle on my weight gain. She even suggested some apps and I felt like through our conversation we developed an action plan together. I have done ever weight loss strategy in the past, programs, fads, pills. This is

Nikita has been an instrumental guide in helping me navigate the recovery process after a SIBO diagnosis and working through the elimination/reintroduction diet. I know folks with IBS dealing with these elimination diets on their own and they all wish they could have access to a nutritionist throughout the process - I'm lucky to have been referred to Compass by my GI doc and lucky to have Nikita keeping me sane through the process.

I have been going to Compass for some time now and Erika is just the best. She is very understanding and works with you to tailor my eating habits and does not look to take things away. She has helped me discover how to eat better with simple changes. I recommend her to anyone looking for a great nutritionist.

We met Nikita kapur and she is outstanding. She was very knowledgable and gave a realistic advise on diet. In today's social world its important for the dietician to look at all outlooks and she explained us everything with so much details. Diet is about balanced eating and have been following her advice since we met her and already feel a difference! She is amazing !!!

I had my appointment today with Laura today and it was perfect!!
First of all I only waited for 5 minutes she was right on time.
The appointment was not like a regular nutritionist session. It was more like us talking about eating habits, what I want from this process and how we should achieve the goals.
The best part was she didn't spend the time by writing a plan during the session instead she had everything ready after the session.
She was also really open to questions and explained everything clearly.
Overall it was a great experience and definitely will stick to this place.

I have seen dietitians in the past, but I find the team at Compass Nutrition to be the kindest and most knowledgeable! Ever since I moved to NYC I have had to adjust and figure out how to live a healthy lifestyle. After one visit, I had a game plan that would set me up for success. They are non-judgemental and don't believe in restricting or fad diets. I recommend Compass Nutrition to anyone and everyone seeking a dietitian or nutritionist!

I recently met with the owner of Compass Nutrition after my incident with Nikita and I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. I would recommend Compass Nutrition and she did cover all aspects of Nutrition, very patient and went into detail.
I would recommend Compass Nutrition and I hope that more people will go but just avoid Nikita. Thank You!
