Clinical/Critical Care/Pediatrics
Most of our patients are referred by their existing doctors for the treatment of diseases and ailments, such
as diabetes, heart disease, renal failure, cancer, AIDS, prenatal complications, gastrointestinal disease and eating
disorders. Our Clinical Nutritionists are experts in Pediatrics, adult and geriatric Medical Nutrition
Therapy (MNT). We will work closely with your physician to insure that all medical prescriptions are being
followed.
All of our Clinical Nutritionists are Registered Dietitians and have a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition. This
encompasses a three year degree in nutritional biochemistry, physiology, anatomy, and metabolism. In addition to the
Masters program, they all have completed their dietetic internship at New York University affiliated hospitals for one additional
year. They have completed the American Dietetic Association board exam and are all Registered Dietitians with the ADA.
Our nutritionists have years of experience in New York City hospitals. We have worked in Critical Care in both Surgical/Medical
as well as Pediatric Intensive Care Units for over seven years. We do outpatient consultations for patients discharged
from their hospital on both enteral and parenteral (intravenous) formulations while working with your physician on an ongoing
basis to adhere to the changing prescriptions of this critical population.
It is important that all patients being referred by their existing doctor have a copy of their most recent
blood/lab work, urinalysis, bone density, glucose monitoring records along with any other medical diagnostic
history. Please have your physician fax/send this information prior to your office visit to insure that it is recieved.
Wellness/Weight Loss
Every day the media is reporting on the poor general state of Americans' weight and the latest diet fad to address
it. We don't follow the fads and our advice doesn't have a catchy name. In fact our patients have to do most
of the work. We educate our patients on specific nutrient requirements by taking a close look at their daily
intake, activity level,stress and their individual goals.
Our approach works, even without the trademarks our patients achieve and maintain their optimal weight.
Sports Nutrition
Athletes have unique nutritional requirements that must be determined to attain enduring success and health, whether professional or
amateur. We work with professional athletes to design an effective program that is very individualized to obtain
optimal performance and avoid injury and general fatigue. If you are preparing for an upcoming competitive
event, such as an Ironman, Century ride, Marathon or any other, we design nutritional programs for the period leading up to,
and during, the event to insure maximum performance can be achieved.
