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.

Also, the Baylor Family Medicine nutritionist may be seen at a different location from that of your general Baylor Family Medicine physician.
