Ask the Dietitian
If so, ask our experts here at UAMS! Our Outpatient dietitians are willing to help by offering answers to your nutrition questions via email directly to you. Email outpatientdietitian@uams.edu to ask a question and receive a response directly. Make sure to put “Nutrition Question” in the subject line. Questions for the dietitian should be general in nature. For prescriptive diets, you must schedule an appointment by calling 501-526-6477.
