Consultation

The dietitians at Renate de Schaap Dietitians' Practice are happy to stay in touch with you regarding the treatment of the patient you referred.

If you have any questions about the possibilities of treatment by one of our dietitians, feel free to contact us at any time.

Referral Letter

In most cases, a referral letter is no longer required for treatment. Since 2011, we have been freely accessible. However, for proper feedback and data exchange, such as blood test results, a referral is appreciated.

Reasons for Referral

We can offer advice and tips for many conditions and complaints (see under diets). This will help your patient feel better thanks to the health-promoting effects. In some cases, the dosage of certain medications may be reduced or even stopped.

We are fluent in Dutch and English, both spoken and written. Particularly with specific diets, being able to express oneself clearly is very important, so that the client understands everything and can follow the dietary advice.

Our Approach

During the first consultation, we gather information about eating habits, personal data, complaints, expectations, and questions from you as the referring party.
After thoroughly reviewing your patient's eating and drinking habits, we create a customized nutritional plan! Everyone receives a personalized sample day menu. We take into account factors such as culture, taste preferences, living situation, and daily routine.
In follow-up consultations, we guide your patient in following their personalized dietary advice. We provide support in adjusting their eating habits so they become comfortable with their new lifestyle. Additionally, we offer various tips and practical advice to help adapt the diet as smoothly as possible. This includes tips on how to handle special occasions such as parties, dining out, family visits, and vacations.
Remember: the dietitian is not as strict as you might think!

Newsletter

Our practice publishes a newsletter several times a year with updates on nutrition and developments within the practice. You can subscribe to this newsletter for free by sending an email.

A general practice is a trusted and familiar environment, making it a great place for providing nutritional advice.
