These specialists work as members of a multidisciplinary team together with physicians and health professionals working in other units of the health center.

Specialists working in the nutrition and dietetics unit, apart from the services they provide in relation to obesity and weight method, also provide the preparation of diet programs for people who need some special nutritional conditions due to various chronic diseases (kidney failure, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, celiac etc.) or surgical applications (obesity and diabetes surgeries, etc.). These programs make it possible to alleviate the symptoms that arise in connection with the ailments, while reducing the likelihood of the patient developing complications after the surgical procedure.
