Nutrition Counseling in Southwest Houston

In-person visits include access to our clinical-grade InBody body composition scanner, which measures muscle mass, body fat, visceral fat, and hydration — giving you and your dietitian a precise baseline to track real progress.
Prefer to stay home? Telehealth appointments are available for all Texas residents and are covered by most insurance plans at the same rate as in-person visits.

Our Sugar Land office at 2245 Texas Dr, Ste 300 is open Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 5 PM — with same-week appointments often available. Many Houston-area patients choose Sugar Land for its convenient location off Highway 59/69.

Does Insurance Cover a Dietitian in Houston?
Yes — in most cases, nutrition counseling is a covered benefit under your health insurance plan. Under the Affordable Care Act, preventive nutrition counseling for obesity and certain chronic conditions is covered at no cost to you.
If your doctor has referred you for Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) — for diabetes, prediabetes, kidney disease, or another qualifying condition — your visits are typically covered at $0 copay under Medicare and most commercial plans.
We verify your benefits before your first appointment so you know exactly what to expect. No surprises.
Coverage varies by plan. We verify your specific benefits at no charge before your first visit.
Self-pay options available — contact us for current rates.

What Patients Are Saying
Jenny Carroll

I highly recommend this dietitian. My primary care physician referred me to her because my A1C was 6.4 pre diabetes. She taught me how to eat and to listen to my body. My A1C went down to 5.7 in addition I lost six pounds. I greatly appreciate the doctor and all the staff.

I can't recommend Rawaa enough for families navigating feeding challenges, especially with children on the autism spectrum. She worked with my son, who has always been an extremely picky eater, and the progress we've seen has been truly meaningful. What stood out most was her ability to connect with my son. She created a comfortable, low-pressure environment that helped build his trust, which made all the difference.

I had an excellent experience working with my dietitian, who played a crucial role in helping me manage both my diabetes and renal condition. They explained complex dietary guidelines in a simple, practical way, making it easy for me to make better choices without feeling overwhelmed. Their guidance not only helped me stabilize my blood sugar levels but also improved my kidney health over time. I highly recommend this dietitian to anyone looking for professional, caring, and effective nutritional guidance.

I've been with Rawaa Khalil Elabbassi, MS, RD, LD, for almost a month now, and it's been a wonderful experience learning more about my health and what my body needs to reach my goals. The plans she shares every Friday make it so much easier for me to know what to prepare and how to portion my meals. She's kind, knowledgeable, and very patient.
