College Park Family Care is pleased to have a Nutrition Services Department to complement our primary care services. Nutrition plays a foundational role in the prevention and treatment of many of the common conditions and chronic diseases that are seen in a primary care setting, including the prevention of diabetes and heart disease. College Park Family Care providers believe the healthcare system should put an emphasis on nutrition when treating and managing chronic diseases.

Overview of services
The College Park Family Care Nutrition Services department offers individual consultations with a dietitian.
Individual consultations with the dietitian
Initial visits vary from 45 to 60 minutes depending on the diagnosis or reason for visit. An initial visit involves a comprehensive assessment of a patient’s medical, diet, and lifestyle history. It is very important to have a current medication and supplement list available for review at this visit.
Follow up visits vary from 15 to 30 minutes as directed by the dietitian after your initial visit. For best outcomes, bring all diet, exercise, and blood sugar logs to every visit.
Most patients benefit from monthly visits over the course of 3 to 6 months for best results.
