Frequently Asked Questions
Your RDN can help you achieve your goals with an individual nutrition plan. Your first appointment will be the start to your nutrition journey. Dietitians specialize, and we have a RDN to meet most client’s needs.
Some things a RDN can do:
- Help you understand how nutrition relates to your health
- Help you create goals to support your nutritional needs
- Help you become aware of your body’s needs and limitations
- Help you with specific foods and timing to alleviate symptoms
- Help you with meal planning
- Help you with ongoing support and overcoming obstacles
Because Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) and nutrition counseling are so personal, each client is different. Some people need one or two visits for education and awareness, but many clients require multiple, ongoing support to create lifelong habits. Your RDN can meet weekly, or every few weeks for continued help.
Most of our appointments are one and one-half hours for the first visit, and one hour follow ups. Each client is unique, but research shows ongoing, frequent visits with a RDN help support nutritional goals. Some clients meet with their RDNs weekly, while others meet every few weeks.
Most clinicians have new client appointments available within 2 weeks.
We are in network with: Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Humana and Medicare. While we are in network, each client policy is unique, which is why we verify MNT benefits prior to your appointment. We do not accept Medicaid or any Medicaid plans.
Up to you! We offer in person appointments in Watkinsville, or video/virtual (telehealth) appointments for all residents of Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. The personal RDN service is the same, whether in person or online.
We will gather your personal information over the phone, and we will reach out to your medical provider if more information is needed. We also verify insurance, so all you will need to do is schedule an appointment with one of our RDNs!
When you first scheduled an appointment, you receive a link for your appointment. If you do not have that link, please contact our office.
