Why should you see a registered dietitian?

Special nutrition needs require a dietitian. Our registered dietitian is an expert in nutrition and can teach you how to improve your eating habits. Through individualized nutrition counseling appointments, she can help you develop a healthful eating plan tailored to your food choices and lifestyle. Nutrition counseling is especially helpful for people with the following health challenges:

  • Cancer
  • Cardiovascular disease and hypertension
  • Childhood nutrition issues
  • Digestive disorders
  • Eating disorders
  • Pre-diabetes
  • Pregnancy
  • Obesity
  • Osteoporosis
  • Weight management




How long does each visit take?

The initial visit takes one hour. Some people are satisfied with the information they receive in one visit. However, most people require at least one follow-up visit to review how well they are doing with their nutrition program. Making changes is usually hard, and we are here to help with encouragement and guidance.




Making an appointment

Appointments with our dietitian can be made by calling 860-314-2798. Insurance may cover your visit if you meet certain medical conditions, but will only cover the visit if you have a written physician referral. Please check with your insurance provider before your first visit. If you do not qualify for insurance, payment is expected at the time of each visit.
