Today, food choices and lack of physical activity contribute to the vast majority of chronic conditions.

Ditch the diets and learn how to eat right for life by visiting a food and nutrition expert. Our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists are skilled health care professionals who provide the most up-to-date, evidence-based nutrition education, and guidance that is individualized to meet your specific nutrition needs.

At Good Shepherd Diabetes & Nutrition Center, we look at every person as an individual — what you already know, what you believe about your health and your ability to improve it, and potential obstacles for moving forward. We present practical, sensible, supportive guidance.

We will help you learn how to eat well without having to give up your favorite foods. Whether you’re seeking to lose weight, address health concerns, increase energy levels, or simply eat better, you’ll reach sustainable goals that are practical for your busy lifestyle and individual needs.

What to Expect

A referral is not required for nutrition counseling & education services, although your health care provider may also refer you.

    • You may call our office to schedule an appointment with one of our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists or to attend one of our group classes.
    • If your health care provider has referred you, we will call you to set up an appointment after we have reviewed your referral. This process typically takes 1-2 weeks.

When you come for your first appointment, one of our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists will complete an assessment and work with you to make a nutrition plan that will help you reach your health goals. This initial appointment will usually last about an hour.

You may come back for follow-up appointments as long as is necessary or helpful to you. You will work with your dietitian to decide on the number and/or frequency of follow-up appointments. Follow-up appointments last about 30 min.

Costs

Thanks to a generous grant from Good Shepherd Health Care System, they cover 90% of nutrition therapy services. Therefore, you only pay 10% of the cost of your visit; insurance is not billed for nutrition visits.

$10 for initial appointments
$5 for follow-up appointments

We do not bill insurance for nutrition counseling appointments but can provide you with documentation to request reimbursement from your insurance. You can pay for nutrition counseling appointments with your HSA or FSA. Please note, a referral is required for patients being seen for chronic kidney disease or diabetes education since insurance is billed for these 2 conditions.
