Dawn Frick

Languages: English.

Dawn joined the Gastro Center of Maryland in 2017 and brought with her several years of outpatient and inpatient experience after finishing her Dietetics degree at the University of Maryland. She then completed her dietetic internship at the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center in Towson. At the Gastro Center, Dawn works with a wide variety of patient needs, symptoms, and diagnoses, such as:

Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac Disease, GERD, Gastritis, SIBO, Liver Disease, Pancreatitis, IBS, Food Allergies/Intolerances, EOE, Weight Loss, Diabetes

The integrative nutrition approach is to help our patients reach and maintain their long-term diet and nutrition goals. Whether a patient is seeking help with weight management, a gastrointestinal diagnosis, or disease prevention, each person is evaluated individually and provided with a well-researched, realistic, and comprehensive plan that they can follow for the rest of their life. There is no “one diet fits all” approach to her patient care, rather she considers an individual's family, work, health status, food preferences, etc. when working on implementing and achieving nutritional goals. Dawn works closely with patients to find a plan that works for a lifestyle change, not a temporary “fix”. She has extensive knowledge and experience working with various nutrition options:

Low FODMAP Diet, Specific Carbohydrate Diet, Paleo Diet, Low Residue Diet, High Fiber Diet, Vegetarian Diet, Mediterranean Diet, Diabetic Diet, Anti-inflammatory Diet

When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends. Her favorite hobbies are reading, traveling, and trying out new restaurants.
