The experienced Registered Dietitians at Doctors Medical Center work with you, your family and health care team, using nutrition education and counseling techniques, to promote optimal health and personal wellbeing through nutrition.

Patients learn to make changes to their diet so that their eating habits are consistent with their lifestyle - an essential ingredient for long-term results.

We provide practical advice on everything from understanding the nutrition labels on packaging, to easy menu planning and cooking using recipes that fit into your busy life. In addition we can measure your body fat, metabolic rate (the number of calories you burn in a day) and create a personalized menu.

Our areas of specialization include:

• Diabetes and prediabetes
• Gastrointestinal problems: IBS, Crohns, celiac disease
• CVD: Hypertension, hyperlipidemia
• Medical Nutrition Therapy for Chronic Disease Management
• Women's Health Issues
• Weight Management; Pre-op counseling for bariatric surgery.
