What do Dietitians and Nutritionists experts do?

Dietitians and Nutritionists help by providing evidence-based dietary advice to get kids back on track or set them up for success. KixCare providers can help find the best foods and eating plans that work for your kid! Including:

Why should my child see a Dietitian or Nutritionist?

Pediatric Dietitians and Nutritionists are able to help provide your child with the support they need regardless of their eating habits. Having healthy eating habits is crucial to your child's physical and mental growth, and a Dietitian and/or Nutritionist is able to give personalized nutrition advice based on your child's unique case. This advice ranges from learning how to manage a specialized diet to helping your child create a healthy relationship with food as well as their bodies.

How are they different?

Dietitians and Nutritionists are very closely linked - the main difference between the two is related to the type of training and certifications each has. The title of dietitian is currently protected by law in all provinces and territories across Canada. What this means is that all dietitians must go through specific training and hold certain certifications in order to offer services under the Registered Dietitian (RD or DtP) title. On the other hand, the title of nutritionist is currently protected in the provinces of Quebec, Alberta, and Nova Scotia. All dietitians are considered nutritionists; not all nutritionists are considered dietitians.

Absolutely amazing experience! Same day appointment. The Dr was super patient, kind and helpful. Our daughter wasn't feeling well and we kept trying to call to book an appointment with her pediatrician, thank goodness for KixCare! So glad we found this place.

I had a great experience with KixCare and Dr. Kadar. My son was ill and needed to see a healthcare professional ASAP but his pediatrician didn't have any appointments available until weeks later, even though it was an emergency. I tried KixCare and got an appointment the same day. Dr. Kadar was very knowledgeable and informative and gave me plenty of opportunities to express my concerns and ask questions. We will definitely be using this service again, highly recommend!

What an excellent experience! We were able to get an appointment very quickly. From start to finish, I was impressed with the communication and reminders for our appointment. Dr. Sadana was absolutely lovely and is so professional. He took his time with us and I really appreciate that. I wish we were in the Ottawa area because I would love to have him as our pediatrician. I'm so glad you offer such a wonderful service and have already recommended KixCare to other moms. Thank you so much.

Such a wonderful program to have access to! It was easy to make an appointment, followed up with text & email confirmation and reminders. We even had someone call us to ensure we received the link to our virtual appointment and that we were not experiencing any technical issues. Dr. Fahad Masud (a pediatrician at CHEO) was on time, very friendly, and really took the time to understand our concerns and provide a thorough treatment plan. I couldn't be happier!

KixCare deserves all the praise. They have been instrumental in having my toddler seen by a professional and courteous pediatrician in a timely manner twice now. They have come in so handy at a time when my daughter’s own pediatrician couldn’t see her quickly enough, and have saved us a couple unnecessary visits to the emergency room. Love KixCare and our family is very grateful to this team!
