 FAQs

  • At this time, I do not take insurance. I am working on getting in network with some insurance providers and hope to be able to take insurance in the near future. In the meantime, I can provide you with a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network coverage.

  • I require notification at least 48 hours before your scheduled appointment time to cancel or reschedule. This is to ensure I have enough time to offer the time slot to other patients that may be waiting for an appointment. If you cancel within 48 hours, you will be charged a non-refundable $50 fee.

  • All of our consults will be virtual and take place via secure video chat. This saves you valuable time driving, finding parking, and allows you flexibility in finding a time to work within your schedule.

  • A dietitian is a licensed provider that has a minimum of a four-year degree, 1000 hour internship, passes a credentialing exam, and is required to maintain continuing education.
