NYC Nutritionist & Dietitian Group

Choose health. Choose living.

We are a group of expert NYC Certified Nutritionists and Registered Dietitians. We believe:

Food, and food traditions, should be celebrated.
Everybody deserves to live a life of health and wellness.
With guidance, you can develop sustainable, healthy habits to last a lifetime.
Every body should be honored and respected and seen. We are advocates for body diversity, working with people of all ages, shapes, sizes, genders, and nutrition needs.
Our patients have the right to take an active role in their nutrition program.
Medical nutrition therapy can be instrumental in the treatment and prevention of chronic conditions (GI and digestive disorders, diabetes and endocrine issues, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular health, gestational diabetes, bariatric surgery, eating disorders and more).
Each weight loss, weight gain, and weight maintenance program must be individualized.
Health begins before birth, and the right pre-natal and post-natal nutrition can make a big difference in your, and your baby’s lives.
NYC sports nutrition is key for maximum performance.

Testimonials

It was very informative and helpful. I learned a lot on my visit with Dr Nikita Kapur. She was very easy to talk to and I got some good suggestions. I left really thinking about how to work on my eating composition
by Jennell F. WALL STREET, NY
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 !!!
by Subash U. Hoboken, NJ
Met with Erika and she was lovely. Very nice and easy to talk to. She offered up a test/solution based on my issues described and I left with a solid plan of action. Looking forward to working with her more and seeing if we can get to the bottom of my problems.
by Nicole D. New York, NY
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.
by Ashley F. Stony Point, NY
Erika helped me get unstuck off a weight plateau I've been stuck on for 10 years. It's amazing.
by Sara C. New York, NY
I had my first appointment with Dr Nikita Kapur today and she was wonderful. She communicated a ton of information, but broke things down in a way that was easy to understand and digest. I was recently diagnosed with SIBO (and have autoimmune diseases) and went to her to help with reintroduction of foods, but learned so much more. While I feel there is a long road ahead of me, I feel confident that with her guidance, I will get my gut health to a good place.
by Gina D., Brooklyn, NY
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.
by Sally R. Manhattan, New York, NY
Met with Nikita Kapur today and got some great advice on ways to improve diet and wellness game. Thank you, Nikita.

Our RDNs stay informed of guidelines set by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to provide our patients with expert nutrition counseling.
