What happens during a consultation with a pediatric nutritionist?
The first consultation is an assessment visit, and usually lasts about an hour. The nutritionist will ask you questions to better understand your child’s problem. They will then establish a nutritional treatment plan and give you simple strategies and recommendations to use at home.
Depending on your child’s situation, follow-up appointments may be required. If this is the case, we will let you know if your child needs to be present during these visits.
Follow-up appointments
During follow-up appointments, we review the nutritional treatment plan established at the first consultation and adjust it as needed, based on your child’s progress. Please allow between 30 and 60 minutes for your appointment.
At ELNA Pediatrics, we are committed to your child’s growth and well-being, and use a multidisciplinary approach aimed at providing the best possible care for your little ones.
