Testimonials

Dr. Schack's ED program at Torrance Memorial provided the medical care our daughter needed. Without this round the clock treatment, we would not have been able to start this new year with a safe return to healthy eating. The caring and committed team of doctors, nurses, CNA's and staff provided support that bolstered our daughter's ability to heal, commit to nourishment and start the new year with a positive outlook and hope for her and our family. If your teen needs acute medical care stemming from an eating disorder, do not pause or delay. The medical team under the supervision of Dr. Schack is truly a life saver and life sustainer. We are grateful!


This is the best medical stabilization program for eating disorders in Southern California. I highly recommend it, without reservation.

Our daughter received outstanding, personalized care in Dr. Schacks eating disorder program at Torrance Memorial Medical Center. Dr. Schack meticulous, attentive, and thorough exceeded our expectations with her integrative approach to healing. She was on top of everything medically, but it was the little, non-medical things she did that made a difference. Dr. Schack is a dedicated professional who obviously loves her work! We are grateful for her and her supportive staff!


I just wanted to say thank you again for everything you did. It seems weird to say, but I kind of miss the hospital!! You all were very nice and made me feel almost like at home.


"After eight years of a losing battle with bulimia, the Torrance Memorial eating disorders team restored my daughter's ability to eat, and they changed the way she looks at food. The support we received was amazing."


"Integrity, empathy, and expertise are just a few of the qualities Dr. Schack embodies and utilizes to create a meaningful relationship with her patients. As an adult anorexic on the verge of organ failure and death due to her disease, Dr. Schack's program revitalized me and provided me the foundation from which to jumpstart my new, healthy lifestyle."


"I cannot begin to say how grateful I am for all you have done for me."

"The care I received was comprehensive and holistic--every aspect of my eating disorder was addressed by a true expert. Each member of the treatment team gained my trust and respect; they worked seamlessly together and with me so that we were all on the same page. When I was skeptical and resistant, they were compassionate and patient. I am leaving with health and understanding for which I owe my most sincere thanks to Dr. Schack and the team at Torrance Memorial Hospital."
