About Dessirea
My name is Dessirea! I have been a registered dietitian for about a year! I work full time at a small rural hospital, and primarily work in the outpatient setting. I provide counseling on weight management, carb counting for diabetes, and general nutrition. I also assist with providing clinical nutrition services to our inpatients, as needed. If i am not working, i'm usually at home hanging out with my family.
Approach to care
My approach to care is patient-centered. My aim is to ensure that my patient feels they achieved everything they need/want out of our session. Every patient is unique, as well as the session. While sessions can follow a general format, its important to alter the session to help fit the needs of your patient. Patients should leave a session empowered to take control of their health choices.
Your first session with Dessirea
What to expect in the first session: health history/background, why you are here, what goals would you like to achieve, diet recall, setting at least one small goal to work towards for the next session, and answering any additional questions/concerns.
