Useful Information
We have compiled frequently asked questions about consultations with a dietitian, hoping this information will be helpful in understanding the process.
If you have nutrition-related conditions (such as obesity, diabetes, anemia, gastrointestinal diseases, etc.) or if you need a medically-based dietary adjustment according to your health condition.
During the initial consultation, the doctor takes a medical history, analyzes test results, and, if necessary, prescribes additional examinations. Then, an individual nutrition and treatment plan is developed.
A dietitian consultation lasts 1 hour and costs €85.
