What does a pediatric nutritionist do?

A pediatric registered dietitian helps children and teens get the nutrition they need to grow, and gives parents practical, age-appropriate guidance. We look at your child's health, food preferences, and daily routines, and work with your child's medical team when needed.

Can you help with a picky eater?

Yes. We support children with picky eating and feeding challenges, including ARFID, as well as neurodiverse children, such as children with ADHD or autism. Visits focus on reducing stress around food for the whole family.

Where can my child be seen?

In person at our Cumberland pediatric office (Northern Rhode Island Pediatrics, 175 Nate Whipple Hwy, Suite 102) or our North Kingstown main office (1130 Ten Rod Rd, Suite B203), or by telehealth in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Is pediatric nutrition care covered by insurance?

We accept many major plans, including BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim, and Medicare. Coverage and referral requirements vary by plan, so please review our insurance information before booking.
