WHY REFER TO A REGISTERED DIETITIAN?

You can rest assured that your patient is in good hands, as dietitans are held to a strong professional standard that prioritizes evidence-based, safe and ethical care.
Our dietitians believe fervently in interdisciplinary care. Whether you are a medical doctor, nurse, social worker, or therapist, you can refer your patient to our clinic. They will receive inclusive, evidence-based medical nutrition therapy to help increase their ability to self-manage their condition through diet and lifestyle.
