Why Should You Refer Your Patient to John Canlas Nutrition?

As part of the healthcare group, I understand doctors are constantly BOMBARDED with paperwork with too many patients to see. And, trying to ensure patients actually get the results they want can be intensely time consuming.

With a dietitian nutritionist at your side, I can be part of your team and can take on some of the responsibility for the overall well-being of the patient. I believe in patient-centered care that helps them have better outcomes. I know you do too, but just may not have the time!

So, if you have a patient that needs help with any of these conditions – and you need someone on your team who really cares about outcomes – I am the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist your patient needs. My expertise is in helping patients with their dietary needs pertaining to:

  • Type 2 Diabetes Management
  • Pre-diabetes
  • Hyperlipidemia
  • Hypertension
  • Overweight and/or Obesity
  • CKD and ESRD

I Believe In Better Patient Outcomes

We know the majority of the diseases that doctors treat are lifestyle related. Doctors are knowledgeable when it comes to medicine, but they simply don’t have the time or (in some cases) the specific knowledge to help patients with their particular dietary and lifestyle needs. I apply the latest science and nutrition counseling techniques to patients and help them live the lifestyle that benefits them the greatest. Better and improved patient outcomes are my passion.

Dietitian Services That Are Basically Free

Did you know that most major commercial health insurance plans cover nutrition counseling at no cost? Medicare also covers specific nutrition counseling sessions to improve patient outcomes that contribute to the patient’s well-being. So many times, your patient will have little or no out-of-pockets costs!

From The Comfort of Their Home or at My Concord, CA Office

Come into my Concord, CA office, or be helped virtually in their homes – it is the patient’s choice. Since the pandemic, patients now have more options to receive nutrition counseling with the flexibility to help deliver care that suits them. By providing telehealth as an option, they can get the advice and counseling they need in the comfort of their home. Or if they prefer – they can schedule a visit at my Concord, CA office.

No Diet Gimmicks - Just Science

Let’s face it – the nutrition space is littered with misinformation. No wonder patients are confused about what to eat, and how to start living a healthier lifestyle. By going to a professional, licensed dietitian, (one that has the qualifications and the experience needed to help patients make that change), your patients will receive simple, actionable, and proven scientific goals that move them in the RIGHT direction.

Open Communication

I believe in constant communication to help patients achieve better outcomes. This means that (if approved by the patient) you’ll expect from me a summary of the visits of every patient interaction and your patient will have a partner who will help them achieve their goals every single step of the way.
