About Our Division
Learn more about CHOC's Clinical Nutrition Division.
Fax your referral to CHOC Clinical Nutrition.
Our highly experienced nutrition experts provide innovative and efficient care to improve the quality of life for children and their families.
Our RDs provide nutrition services as part of a team center care (TCC) approach in many CHOC clinics and programs. If your child is not already meeting with a RD, please have their primary care doctor or pediatrician refer them to our outpatient services.
Inpatient Nutrition Referrals
If your child is inpatient, please ask your nurse or medical team to speak with a dietitian.
Outpatient Nutrition Referrals
The CHOC Clinical Nutrition outpatient program is designed to provide Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) for a variety of acute medical conditions. Due to the high demand for
limited appointment times, we are unable to provide individual RD visits for obesity with
no comorbidities in children over the age of 6.
Obesity Referrals Without Co-morbidities
Please refer to PODER (6-week series) or Kids Fit Club (2 classes). Classes are
offered in both English and Spanish.
