Nutrition Services

Our dietitians are passionate about educating patients to eat to feel good and fostering a healthy relationship with food. The role of a dietitian is to work with you and your care team to provide you with the tools and resources to take control of your health.

At each session, your dietitian will:

• Address your medical and nutrition history
• Discuss your eating and nutrition habits and behaviors
• Develop a set of personalized goals. These goals take into account lifestyle, previous nutrition background, and eating habits, financial concerns, readiness for change, and your own priorities.
• Provide education for improving and/or maintaining nutrition practices to help meet your healthcare goals.

To help maintain nutrition progress, your dietitian may encourage a return appointment. These follow-up consults provide support while encouraging gradual change in your lifestyle that increases your long-term success.

Insurance coverage varies by carrier. We encourage you to contact your insurance company directly with benefit-related questions. You will need to ask them about “Nutritional Counseling Benefits” and provide this code to the associate: 97802.

If you would like to request assistance in reviewing your nutritional counseling benefit, please call your clinic location below and ask to speak with a financial counselor. Our financial counselors can only provide you with an estimate of your cost. This is not a guarantee of the final amount due.

If you are unable to keep your scheduled office visit appointment, you must notify us at least one business day prior to your scheduled office visit time. You may be charged a $50 no show/cancellation/reschedule fee for short notice for office visits.
