How to Refer a Patient

Referring a patient is simple and requires minimal administrative burden for your staff.

1. Download and Complete the Referral Form: Download our Referral Form: Dietitian-Referral-Form-BBDNutrition-01.06.2026

2. Send Documentation: Fax the completed form along with any relevant recent lab work (limit to 10 pages or less) to the fax number listed on the Referral Form.

3. Patient Scheduling: Once we receive it, our office will reach out to the patient. Alternatively, you can provide your patient with the BBDNutrition Practice Overview Brochure, and they can contact us or self-schedule online.

Common Questions

Q: What clinical documentation should be submitted alongside the referral form?

A: To help optimize the initial clinical assessment, please fax the completed referral form along with recent, relevant laboratory findings, diagnostic reports, or specific dietary orders. To minimize administrative data burdens, please limit the accompanying chart documentation to 10 pages or less.

Q: What is the turnaround time for onboarding a referred patient?

A: Once your clinic faxes the referral form, our office will reach out directly to the patient within 2 to 3 business days to initiate scheduling. If the patient prefers to contact us directly, your staff can provide them with the BBDNutrition Practice Overview Brochure.

Q: Can I refer patients needing Routine Health or Chronic Disease Management, as well as Digestive Health issues?

A: Yes. With 18 years of private practice experience, I can accommodate complex multi-system profiles. This includes patients navigating concurrent metabolic health challenges such as type 2 diabetes (not on insulin) or NAFLD alongside functional GI disorders such as IBS or functional dyspepsia.
