During COVID-19 Virtual Nutrition Counseling is Here for Everyone

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our office will remain OPEN to virtual appointments. In an effort to continue with your nutrition care, we are seeing patients virtually!

We are grateful for this technology, and the increase in insurance coverage for these services. If you have any questions about telehealth, see our page here to read more. You can also see a video here on how to download the VSEE application and connect with your dietitian.

During these uncertain times, it is crucial to take care of your health, especially if you have underlying conditions such as diabetes, lung disease, serious heart disease, people who are immunocompromised (including cancer treatment), severe obesity (body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher), chronic kidney disease and liver disease.

We have in place an easy to use system to set up a private video call (or simply a phone call) with one of our dietitians Sunday to Fridays from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm.  More good news is that your appointments will be covered virtually just as they are typically covered in the office. We are help new patients and current patients during this pandemic.

Here’s what people are saying about virtual counseling with us:

It was my first teleconference with Kaitlin. The app was easy to use once I figured out how to start. Thank you for offering this option.

My virtual appointment with Kathleen was excellent. Yes, it was a little odd seeing her on my computer screen in my own house, but after I got past that, the appointment was pretty much like when I’m in her office. I have no hesitation about doing our next appointment virtually. Much better than missing an appointment!

It was great to see Klara again and talk with her. Being at home gives me a chance to reference things I normally would not be able to have on hand.

Shelley is totally amazing.Thank you for allowing me to continue her visits. They are so helpful. Just as helpful as in person!

Klara is awesome! Thank you for all that you do.

Kaitlin is very good at keeping me focused on what I need to do. She is pleasant to work with and a great young professional. I understand why my doctor referred me to this practice. Thank you.
