Numerous GPs and medical specialists throughout Auckland are referring their patients to her practice. The feedback has been very positive and reflect the success Barbara has achieved with her patients. Giving dietary and lifestyle advice to patients takes time and effort and often this makes huge demands on resources within doctors’ practices involved in the process. Referring your patients who would benefit from professional dietary advice is most effective and free up time and can offer optimum health outcomes for your patients.
The risk factors for nutrition related illness such as obesity, high cholesterol,elevated blood pressure, diabetes, and unsuccessful chronic dieting are all high priorities for early intervention to prevent further serious illnesses and complications from developing.
Barbara has experience with bariatric patients pre and post surgery.
