Outpatient Clinic

Initial Visit

Patients can expect an extensive evaluation to include: 

  • A detailed medical and food history 

  • Vital signs and a physical exam for in-person visits 

  • Blood work may be obtained during the visit or scheduled to be obtained at an outside facility  

  • An EKG will be performed when necessary 

  • Growth charts and additional PCP records will be reviewed    

  • Families will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns  

  • By the conclusion of the visit, the goal is to have a diagnosis discussed, along with an individualized plan outlining immediate next steps 

  • Follow up appointments will be made and will include evaluations from one or more members of our multidisciplinary team  

    *For telehealth visits, a recent medical note with vital signs will be requested from your primary care provider.

Follow Up Visits

  • Medical

    Feeding and eating disorders can affect the entire body and usually have associated medical complications which will be addressed at all follow-up visits. Vital signs and weight are monitored closely. Referrals and additional studies are ordered if needed.

    Our medical experts are available to provide medical clearance, expertise, and advocacy during the admission process to an eating disorder facility when needed for the patient’s care and recovery.

  • Dietitian/Nutrition

    Our dietitians work closely with the patient and family to develop a meal plan and monitor adherence. We emphasize nutrition for healing.

    Dietitians in our practice will provide nutrition counseling, which means addressing anxiety or other barriers that may be hindering food consumption.

  • Therapy

    Therapeutic services play a pivotal role in the treatment of feeding and eating disorders. This form of psychotherapy is centered on addressing behaviors, thoughts, and emotions associated with the eating disorder. Through therapeutic services, individuals learn to recognize and change the patterns of thinking that lead to disordered eating behaviors, fostering long-term recovery and well-being.

  • Feeding Skills Provider

    Feeding skills providers play a crucial role in assisting children with feeding and swallowing challenges. If left unaddressed, feeding and swallowing issues can potentially lead to health complications, learning difficulties, and social challenges. Therefore, our speech and occupational therapists are integral in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating disordered eating through feeding therapy.

Telemedicine

Expanding Access, Supporting Families

At CEDAR Health, we are committed to making high-quality eating disorder care accessible to families across the region. Through our secure telemedicine services, patients can connect with our expert care team from the comfort and privacy of home—without sacrificing the personalized support CEDAR is known for.

While we encourage an initial in-person visit to establish a strong therapeutic relationship, we understand that travel and logistics can be challenging. That’s why we work closely with each patient and family to create a care plan that balances convenience with comprehensive treatment.

To support ongoing medical monitoring, we provide at-home tools such as a blind weight scale and a blood pressure/heart rate monitor. These devices allow us to track essential health metrics remotely while maintaining clinical oversight through regular virtual check-ins with our medical team.

Our goal is to meet families where they are—both geographically and emotionally—so they can feel supported every step of the way.
