FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My practice is self-pay/concierge, meaning I do not accept insurance of any kind. Patients enroll with me for three, six, nine, and twelve month intervals at a time (unless otherwise arranged).
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
-BA in Sociology from Bryn Mawr College. -DPD from New York University. -MS in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics from New York University. -Clinical Residency. -Ask me about specialty coursework during my graduate studies and my continuing education!
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
My top two tips: 1. Does the professional you are looking to hire offer a complementary discovery call or alternative free method to connect prior to booking with them? When hiring a dietitian you are making an investment in yourself and in your health - you should have the opportunity to ensure they are a good fit for your needs, to ask any and all questions you may have, and to verify that they have the experience and experience you deserve. 2. Did you know there is a difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist? Dietitians have completed accredited, standardized, and vigorous undergraduate and often graduate programs in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics (in my case I have graduate level training) as well as accredited, supervised, and meticulous residency programs before passing a nationwide board exam. Dietitians are the only trusted nutrition professionals to be found in places like hospitals, doctor’s offices, FDA offices, the CDC, dialysis centers, advertising and communications agencies, professional athletic team staff, college/university staff, etc. In contract, nutritionist is not a regulated term, and anyone can use it. Nutritionists range from individuals who have conducted a self- study of information, to those who have taken an online course, to some dietitians who like to use the term! So, do your research and know you are hiring who you prefer to hire.
