    If you’d prefer to make an appointment over the phone, give us a call at (646) 443-6113 (you’ll speak to a real live person, we promise!). 

  • What is the difference between a virtual and in-person appointment?

    All of our registered dietitians offer virtual appointments to make it as easy and convenient as possible for you to get the care you need. Virtual appointments offer the same level of expert nutrition care you can expect from an in-person appointment, as you are still meeting one-on-one with your dietitian. Depending on your concerns, your provider may recommend blood tests or other evaluations that need to be done in person. If you decide to get an evaluation that requires you to be in person, your provider will work directly with you to identify the best path forward. 

  • How do I choose the right dietitian for me?

    Choosing a dietitian is like choosing any type of provider. There are some straightforward factors, like availability and insurance coverage. Luckily, our portal makes it easy to find providers that match your insurance coverage and view who has upcoming availability that matches your own.

    Other factors are more personal. Each registered dietitian in our network is equipped to support your nutrition needs, but care styles and specialties may vary. Read profiles to get a sense of the provider, or you can fill out this form to book a free consultation and see if it’s the right fit for you. You can also call us at (646) 443-6113 for help.
