About Hilda Melissa

Hi everyone! My name is Hilda, but I go by Melissa (my middle name). I am a Bilingual Registered and Licensed Dietitian currently located in Laredo, TX. Since I became a Dietitian, I have been gaining experience in the clinical nutrition setting. I have worked extensively with patients with chronic diseases such as Cardiovascular Diseases, Type 2 Diabetes, Kidney Disease, Overweight, Obesity, among others. In addition, I have worked with the community who are looking for a healthier lifestyle on a budget. Hablo Espanol!

Approach to care

I am a very passionate Dietitian who cares about her patients. I have strong communication skills, and I provide an amicable/ no judgement zone. Individualized nutrition plans are provided to all my patients based on their necessities and food preferences. Patients are treated with respect based on background, values, etc.

Your first session with Hilda Melissa

I love first meetings! It is a time when we get to know each other. But most importantly, it is about you! We will talk about yourself: your health background, your lifestyle, your goals. We will work together, and set small/approachable goals, that eventually… will take us to your ultimate goals.
