FAQ's
You can read our testimonial page here to get a feel for the success our patients have had. In general, we see our patients leave feeling confident about their food with improved blood work results. In the rare instance that someone needs to transition to transplant or dialysis we are well skilled and equipped to make sure your nutrition is optimal for either condition.
As expert renal dietitians, to say we practice “out- side the box” is an understatement, but then again that is why you are seeking our care! We work with each patient to develop root-cause approach interventions and take an uncompromising approach for success. Unfortunately the standard medical model and insurance companies are not up to speed on advanced functional testing, medical nutrition therapy, and the use of nutritional compounds to aid in optimal outcomes. We practice evidence based care not institutionalized care and enjoy the freedom to do so without constraints of an insurance company. Thank you for understanding our positioning on this and valuing the work the KidneyRD team will put into your unique case!
Yes! Many people will use their flex spending or health savings account to pay for our services.
No. We often see people with GFR <15 see improvement or stabilization of their kidney function.
It is part of our standard policy that we send a note to all nephrologists when we begin working with their patients. In addition, if we feel collaboration is needed with your nephrologist we absolutely will reach out to discuss any concerts. We include all our contact information should they like to discuss the nutrition plan.
We have several online classes for a variety of needs. Please see our Online Programs here to explore these options.
During the introductory call, your dietitian will help map out a strategy for your individual case. Based on this strategy she will recommend services to help you achieve your goals. When you book any additional services, we will roll the introductory visit into your package and discount the price by $325. For example, if you decide to buy a Clarity Start Package ($1295, 4 visits), it would only cost you $970 and you'd have 3 appointments left.
