Preventive nutrition is aimed at individuals who are in good health - and want to stay healthy. Therapeutic diets are usually ordered for individuals directly under a physician's care, such as a patient in a hospital or someone recovering from surgery or illness. When special diets are ordered by a physician, a Registered Dietitian can help answer concerns and questions regarding ingredients, amounts and preparation.
Initial consultations are scheduled for one hour, with follow-up sessions scheduled as needed. A fee is charged for nutritional counseling. Check with your insurance provider for coverage information. Fees vary depending on services provided.
A referral order from the physician is recommended but not needed.
