Running a high-volume bariatric practice is demanding- your nutrition support shouldn't be.
As a bariatric surgeon, you need a dietitian who's dependable, efficient, and understand the unique needs of your patients. I provide flexible, contract-based support so you can:
-
Offload nutrition consults
-
Meet insurance and program requirements
-
Improve patient follow-through and outcomes- all without hiring another employee
