Medical Assessment and Management

We provide medical assessment and management for patients struggling with eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and combined disorders. This includes inpatient medical stabilization as well as outpatient treatment.

We also assist bariatric surgery patients in the pre-operative weight loss phase and the management phase after surgery. We conduct long-term follow-up to ensure patients continue to receive diet support.

Care Across the Capital Region

Clinical nutrition services are offered at Albany Medical Center, Glens Falls Hospital, and Saratoga Hospital. See the list of providers and locations for more information.

Our customized plans are based on science, research, and proven strategies. Our registered dietitians provide lifelong, non-judgmental support and the extra motivation that can make all the difference when challenges arise or the going gets tough.”
