Cala Dittmer Dietitian / Nutritionist RD, LD

Cala Dittmer, a Harbin Clinic registered, licensed dietitian, provides nutrition education for patients throughout the bariatric process. She leads preoperative group classes, teaching nutrition guidelines and providing education on the various stages of meal plans after surgery. Cala meets one-on-one with patients to evaluate their readiness for surgery in terms of lifestyle changes with diet and exercise.

? In addition, she provides lifelong support and postoperative follow-up. She wants patients considering bariatric surgery to know that taking the time before surgery to make permanent lifestyle changes leads to greater long-term success after surgery.”
