An initial consultation with our Registered Dietitian typically takes one hour. The two of you will discuss questions about medical conditions, lifestyle, medications, goals and potential barriers in order to come up with a personalized plan and schedule for any additional appointments.
Physician referral is necessary. Your physician will fill out a Medical Nutrition Therapy Referral form that includes the reason for the consultation, your lab results, and medical history. All Port Clinton area physicians have the referral forms in their offices. For out of area physicians, a referral form can be faxed or picked up and returned. For more information, or if you have any questions, please call Tracy Stadler at 419-734-3131 ext.3544.
