I recently consulted Mrs. Geeta Desai for my chronic GERD problem. She is a very friendly person and heard me out patiently and then explained in great detail the underlying problems that trigger my GERD symptoms. In fact, this is my second visit. After my first consultation itself, I noticed considerable changes after following the GERD diet chart that she prepared for me and she updated the diet chart during this visit. Overall with her guidance and advise, my lifestyle has changed and health has improved for the better and I hope to continue this healthy routine as a way of life. My deepest regards and gratitude to Geeta ma'am for her help and guidance.

My daughter, who is two years old, has hyperinsulinemia, which in turn lowers her blood sugar level. So her diet has to be very selective. I was out of options and I reached out to several people on every possible platform. Even her pediatrician could not suggest me anyone. Then some angel on social media gave me Ms Desai's number. The very first time I called her, in December 2020, it was not her work hour, but she still heard me out thoroughly and asked every tiny detail that I would have missed. The same day she gave me the appointment, seeing the urgency. Ms Desai spent good one and a half hours with me for consultation. As they say, the experience speaks, she knew certain things, food pattern and dietary habits of my daughter that as a mother, I failed to notice. Over the consultation, she gave me multiple options for diet, food timings etc. Ms Desai also pointed the mistakes I was making.The very next day, she sent me the diet plan, which was so easy to follow. There was no extra efforts in terms of meal preparation that I had to do. The best part was that the food items in the diet plan are toddler friendly, nutritious and also there was variety.Funnily, in between, my daughter's pediatrician suggested me a dietitian from Hinduja hospital. I contacted the dietitian who asked me about my daughter's current diet plan. I gave her an idea of the diet plan that Ms Desai had planned for my daughter. The dietitian from Hinduja hospital, sent me a meal plan, ten days after the consultation (when she was reminded), which was 95% copy of Ms Desai's plan. Needless to say, I didn't take that route.I got in touch with Ms Desai again in February 2021, as my daughter will be starting school soon. The best part about Ms Desai is that she's never in hurry to finish the appointments. She will give proper time to her patients. She takes personal interest in each case. Nothing beats her experience. The options, the calorie calculation, the dietary need of a specific age, they all are on her fingertips. On another note, she's really lucky for my daughter as whenever I get in touch with her, my daughter's sugar levels come 100 which otherwise is a dream. I would like to extend the biggest thanks to Ms Desai and recommend her to everyone seeking dietary consultation. Trust me, she is the solution.

I am 53 years old and despite being into sports and other physical activities I have always been overweight. The main reason I feel is that I am a foodie and have this uncontrollable urge to eat whenever I see something edible.
So I visited Dr Desai to help me go on a diet. This was the first time in my life I was trying this out and thus had some apprehensions and misgivings about it. My initial interaction with her turned out to be very different from what I had expected. I thought she would be a very stern person and would scold me when I told her about my lifestyle and eating habits. On the contrary she listened to me very intently and pointed out to me the positives in my lifestyle. Regarding my eating habits she suggested some changes rather than anything radically different.
I felt she was really an emphatic listener and has a very encouraging way of motivating people. During the course of my treatment I used to go astray (as one would expect. You don’t kick a 53 year old habit in couple of months). I used to tell her like a delinquent school boy that I had been naughty with my diet. She actually told me that it is ok to indulge once in a way and not feel very bad or guilty about. But it is important to compensate that over the next few days or meals.
This was a very sane piece of advice as I don’t see myself living with the rest of my life like a stoic monk. It has helped me come to terms with my weakness for food and how to control and compensate my diet. Most importantly, she helped me change my lifestyle in a manner I did not feel I was sacrificing too much. So I sincerely believe this method is sustainable.
Of course time will tell. However, for the 3 months I was being consulted by her my weight reduced by 8kgs. This has not happened to me for many many years. It is still on a decreasing trend and if I can get rid of another 5 to 6 kgs I should be very pleased with myself.
I would strong recommend Dr Desai as she works on the mind of her patients rather than on their body. There were a lot of good conversations we had which helps one clear ones own doubts.
Thank you very much Dr Desai for your help.

Dr. Geeta Desai is an exceptionally experienced and insightful nutritionist. She took the time to patiently understand all my concerns and then explained, in a clear and structured way, the lifestyle changes I needed to make to cope up with my high diabetic readings.
I’ve been following her professional advice for the past month with about 80% consistency, and I can already see a noticeable improvement in both my overall health and medical readings.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for genuine, effective guidance, she’s someone you can trust with complete confidence.

She is an excellent practitioner and nutritionist. I had visited her for consultation of my 3years old daughter who was really fussy in eating. She was able to help me very quickly with the issues that I presented to her in our first visit. Though she judiciously gave 1.5 hours just to sort out the diet of my daughter where in I gave her very less options which is preferred by the little.******* ** ***** ********** ******* *** ***** ***** *** *** **** ********* ****.
Apart from just giving the nutrition plan what I really appreciate about her is the way she gives some home tips/ recepies/finger food options/and some really helpful guidance on how to introduce a child to different taste and food.
It's was 21st of March 2017 that I had met her for consultation and then she continuously took a follow up with me and asked regarding my daughter's diet and trust me it's this date that my daughter eats almost everything.
Right from green veggies to various pluses, egg..etc. in short a proper diet which is required by a child.
I feel like I am on the right track for the first time in selecting her for nutrition consultation for my daughter. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
