I am so grateful for Sara’s guidance on my CKD journey. Before I engaged Sara’s services, I was despairingly depressed by the diagnosis. Between the list of “should do” requests of my nephrologist, urologist, and rheumatologist, I was so confused. Not one doctor explained the “how’s” or “whys.” Sara was very gentle, kind, and patient as she explained each “should.” She broke down steps, so they became accessible habits to incorporate into my life. The “whys” were explained in terms I could understand and accept. She gave me skills to handle special events and helped me understand lab work so I could become more active in my healthcare. No longer a victim of disease, I am now living vibrantly, filled with joy and hope.

Sara Prato is one of the few dietitians specializing in CKD, and she was great. She explained everything I ever needed to know, and then some, in a completely unhurried and attentive way. After taking all my numbers and lifestyle, she gave me a complete program...and provided positive things that could be done to slow or improve the CKD. I am much improved and with all the knowledge and help provided, I am no longer fearful or confused. I know what to eat and why, and I even have ice cream! All this together with life advice.

When I was first diagnosed, I completely freaked out. But after speaking with Sara, she calmed me down and told me that everything was going to be okay. Same with labs -- I was scared to get them but she said they are just points of information we can use -- don't think of them in terms of "bad or good." She is so calming and caring and friendly -- she's just a good person to talk to and she will brighten your day. You know that she cares about you and you will feel better just speaking with her -- and in these times and with our health care system, that's a rare ting. I endorse in the strongest possible voice working with Sara on your CKD journey.

After my diagnosis, I felt discouraged, scared and lost. Sara allowed me to express my fears and helped me understand my new diagnosis as not a death sentence but something I needed to pay attention to. She guided me with patience and compassion on how I can help my kidneys function better. My world was no longer flipped upside down. I would highly recommend Sara and her services!!

Sara has been enormously helpful giving me guidance to manage my CKD nutrition. She has been incredibly informative and given me great information without overwhelming me or making me feel like I couldn't eat anything. A wonderful resource.

Sara was so helpful during our online sessions about a renal diet and lifestyle. She emailed good information and has reached out to me periodically to see how I am doing. For those living with chronic kidney disease and wanting to slow the progression of the disease by eating well, I highly recommend Sara.

It is a pleasure working with Sara as I figure out my life with ckd. She provides a wealth of information. When I get stuck she responds quickly. At a time when I was utterly overwhelmed and depressed, she was the one who provided me with the tools to thrive.
