"My role as a dietitian is to provide medical nutrition therapy to overweight or obese patients in both medical and surgical interventions.  Other than weight management, I hope to provide better nutritional care to our patients so that we can effectively manage the obesity epidemic and reduce the risk of complications for our obese patients.  It is especially rewarding when my patients say, "I get it now. Thank you for the information."  It lets me know that they are aware of the need for change and is willing to make adjustments to their lifestyle."
