Our practice is designed to offer thoughtful, high-touch medical assessment and ongoing management for patients with anorexia nervosa, atypical anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, ARFID, binge eating disorder, and OSFED. We partner closely with therapists, dietitians, psychiatrists, pediatricians, and higher levels of care to support medical stability, nutritional rehabilitation, and continuity across treatment settings.
We understand that eating disorders are serious medical illnesses, often with significant consequences even before a patient appears outwardly unwell. Our practice emphasizes early recognition, thoughtful medical care, and close collaboration with the full treatment team. Whenever appropriate, we work hard to help patients remain safely at home with their families while receiving the specialized care they need.
Thorough initial assessments for suspected or confirmed eating disorders, including diagnostic clarification, medical risk assessment, and individualized treatment planning. Evaluations include a detailed history, physical examination, orthostatic vital signs, blind weights using our numberless scale, in-office EKG, urinalysis, and review of relevant laboratory data.
Close follow-up for patients who benefit from continued medical support and monitoring throughout recovery. Visits include orthostatic vital signs, blind weights on a numberless scale, physical examination, in-office EKG and urinalysis when indicated, and review of laboratory data. The frequency of visits is thoughtfully tailored to each patient’s unique clinical needs.
Thoughtful medical management during nutritional rehabilitation, including ongoing assessment for evolving medical concerns, close monitoring for patients who are at high risk for refeeding syndrome, and the physical effects of malnutrition.
Timely outpatient medical follow-up for patients stepping down from inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, or intensive outpatient treatment.
Evaluation of restrictive eating, significant weight loss, growth faltering, ARFID, atypical anorexia, mixed presentations, and other complex or evolving cases.
Evaluation and management of the medical effects of eating disorders most relevant to pediatric practice, including bradycardia, orthostasis, dehydration, electrolyte disturbance, menstrual suppression, gastrointestinal symptoms, purging-related complications, growth and pubertal concerns, and bone health. This also includes thoughtful interpretation of weight and growth trends, assessment of medical stability, and guidance regarding activity restriction, return to school, and the need for escalation of care.
Close communication with the treatment team to support coordinated, medically informed care.
Support for families navigating medical severity, exercise restriction, school and activity questions, and signs that warrant escalation of care.
