If you are diagnosed with diabetes, a registered dietitian will work with you to alter your diet to control your blood glucose levels better. We are also available if you’ve been managing the condition for a while and have questions or concerns.
Cancer Treatment
For those going through cancer treatment, registered dietitians are ready to help you adjust your nutrition if you experience side effects from your treatment.

Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgery offers hope to people who have struggled to lose a significant amount of weight. Many of our patients lose 100 pounds or more. The weight loss surgery process includes revamping how and what you eat. We will meet with you several times before surgery to discuss these changes and help you develop a pre-op, post-op and long-term plan to pave the way for successful weight loss. We also offer weight loss surgery support groups.
