DIETARY & NUTRITION
Primary Care and Nutrition Expertise, Together in One Relationship
Dr. Alex Ford brings a rare dual credential to primary care: he is both a board-certified family physician and a registered dietitian. Nutrition is never treated as an afterthought here, it is built directly into your care.
Your Doctor Is Also a Registered Dietitian
Patients traditionally receive medical care from one provider and nutrition recommendations from another, if they receive nutrition guidance at all.
Dr. Ford's dual background as a physician and registered dietitian allows him to look at your health through both a medical and a nutritional lens, helping you understand how the pieces of your health fit together rather than treating them as separate conversations.
