THE FIRST APPOINTMENT
The first appointment is 75 minutes in duration. Height and weight measurements are obtained at time of visit. Your three-day food diary will be evaluated with you, and then goals, recommendations and a specific and complete meal plan will be created and personalized for you.
What is covered at your First Visit?
The initial appointment includes a review of: medical history, nutrition history, lab work if available, medications, height/weight data, intake of three day food diary, and lifestyle. I will then develop a written, individualized medical nutrition therapy plan based on the information you have provided me. You will also be provided with the education and motivational tools needed to successfully implement this nutrition plan and any recommended changes.
THE FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS
Follow-up appointments are 30 minutes in duration, and are scheduled to monitor progress, continue the education, provide support, and cover additional areas where you may need extra work. Consistency here wins the game. The goals of our treatment are: long term and sustainable results for you and your family!
GOOD TO KNOW
The nutrition counseling component to the visit is based on a behavior modification approach to change problem eating patterns and incorporates lifestyle changes including exercise.
All nutrition treatment plans provided are personalized to your medical and personal goals. We do not recommend “diets”, but instead emphasize healthy eating plans and lifestyle.
As health professionals, our counseling is conducted in a diplomatic and sympathetic manner. Children are especially instructed in a kind, positive manner with emphasis on changing eating and exercise patterns. We do not focus on weight issues for appearance but for the purpose of achieving and maintaining good health.
ON TIME POLICY / CANCELLATIONS
The office is proud of our on-time performance. If you cancel an appointment with less than 48 hours’ notice, a re-scheduling fee will be imposed since your time slot cannot be filled by another patient. It is understandable that appointments will occasionally need to be changed with short notice due to emergencies or other compelling circumstances. Late arrivals may not be able to be seen.
