If needed, your primary care physician also may direct you to one of our registered dietitians who works one-on-one with patients to develop healthier eating patterns. Nutrition education is crucial, and our registered dietitians will provide you with a comprehensive nutritional assessment, create a customized nutrition plan and provide information and resources to help you stay on track toward your health goals. Insurance coverage varies. Check with your insurance carrier to find out if registered dietitian appointments are covered under your plan.
