Outpatient Nutrition Clinic
The Division of Nutrition Therapy offers outpatient nutrition counseling to help maintain and improve a child’s nutritional health. Registered dietitians provide nutrition counseling for patients from birth up to adulthood.
Appointments are available at several neighborhood locations. Telehealth appointments are also available.
A registered dietitian will obtain an eating history and body measurements including a nutrition focused physical exam and will review medical information from the child’s physician. The patient and family will work with the dietitian to develop a safe and individualized nutrition plan. Our goal is to achieve healthy outcomes.
Initial appointments last about an hour, and follow-up visits can be scheduled to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans.
Before Your Appointment
- Contact the patient’s insurance provider before scheduling an appointment to verify coverage. A physician’s referral to the Nutrition Clinic is not required for service, but is often required for insurance reimbursement.
- Contact us to schedule an appointment. Specify the preferred location for service.
- Prepare a list of medications and any vitamin or mineral supplements your child takes and bring to the appointment.
- Record everything your child eats or drinks for 24 hours before the appointment to take to the dietitian to review.
