About Chik Sum

With over ten years of experience as a clinical dietitian and nutrition coordinator, I am passionate about improving the health and well-being of patients with renal diseases and diabetes. As a Board Certified Specialist in Renal Nutrition (CSR) and a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), I have the expertise and credentials to provide evidence-based nutrition therapy and education to patients. I am also a published author and a presenter, sharing my knowledge and insights with the professional and public audiences. At Mount Sinai Health System, I was part of a diverse and collaborative team that strives to deliver high-quality and patient-centered care.

Approach to care

I believe in the power in motivation and shared decisions making in making healthy changes. My role as a clinician is to help people establish health goals and connect them with reliable and accurate scientific information. I will help guide you with realistic goals and will be there to cheer when a goal is accomplished. When you need a little bit more help in your journey, we can discuss resources that can help remove barriers.

Your first session with Chik Sum

When we meet for the first time, we will go over your goals, medical conditions and diet. We may discuss what worked for you in the past and challenges you are working on. We may talk about your history and how you are taking care of your health. The first session will help us establish a strong foundation that we can keep building on in the future.
