Referrals and Appointments
Our nutritionist can receive referrals from Baylor and non-Baylor providers. Non-Baylor patients should bring recent pertinent lab work to the initial counseling session.
This service may need to be pre-approved by your insurance. Please ask your primary care provider to request authorization or referral.
