How does a visit to the dietitian work?

With a reference to the
dietician

Your doctor or practice nurse has referred you to my practice. How does a conversation go?
Together with you we look at what you want, what is your goal, what do you want to achieve. And what do you expect from the conversation? I assume your request for help. What topics do you want to discuss?
We look at your health, use of medicines, living situation, lifestyle, etc. It is not just about nutrition, but much more. Because how do you keep it up? How can you change?
Simply following a list does not help and is often only temporary. As a dietitian, I specialize in behavioral change and help you to persevere and set achievable goals.
The conversations are reimbursed by the basic insurance or from the chain care, read more below for all information.
You usually receive a referral letter digitally, the general practitioner or practice nurse sends it to the practice. I then have the most important data, such as a diagnosis, questions to the dietitian, medication and blood results. It is important to be able to give you correct and good advice.
Step by step to the best result, lasting change and lasting improvement in health.
After an initial consultation, we make follow-up appointments. How long and how often depends on what you want and what is necessary to achieve your goal.
You can count on practical advice, which is feasible for you, in your living situation.

Without referral to the dietician

More info..
You can make an appointment without a referral from a doctor. During the first meeting we discuss the questions and complaints. We discuss the request for help, health, use of medicines and lifestyle. This is called a screening. Then we proceed with an initial consultation.
If I see red flags, I refer to the doctor. This is mandatory. Red flags mean that I suspect a health problem that the doctor should look into. Are there, for example, fatigue complaints, does diabetes run in the family or cardiovascular disease? Then there may be a risk that you also have this without knowing it.
There are two exceptions: for children I always ask that you bring a referral letter. Also for integrated care: do you have diabetes, cardiovascular disease and/or COPD and do you visit the practice nurse for a check-up and do you use integrated care? Then the practice nurse makes a referral. The costs are then reimbursed from the integrated care (general practitioner care) without a deductible.
