Buffalo Nutrition & Dietetics, PLLC is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist group in Buffalo, NY. The Mission of our group practice is to help people not only survive in a world of chronic disease, but also to be well. Our Registered Dietitians are expertly trained and advanced certified in Integrative and Functional Nutrition through the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the credentialing board for RDNs, each with a specific area of focus. The functional medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes. By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of disease. They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, functional medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual. Registered Dietitian Nutritionists are the most highly credentialed nutritionists in the world. We hold a degree in medical nutrition science and are licensed health professionals bound legally to a code of ethics. Credentialed by the Commission On Dietetic Registration, the credentialing agency for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association). Certified through the University of the State of New York Education Department Office of the Professions

I have been in practice for almost 13 years, with extensive experience in acute care and rehabilitation prior to founding Buffalo Nutrition & Dietetics, PLLC.
