Largest dietician physician group practices

When you’re interested in selling your healthcare product, software, or service to dieticians, the key to more efficient marketing and sales targeting is narrowing your scope and honing your list of potential clients.

While location is often one way to identify your target list, size and specialty are two other useful metrics for finding targets. Targeting the largest dietician physician groups can be an especially effective sales strategy, as larger physician groups offer connections to more locations and physicians—if one physician can benefit from your offerings, it’s likely that other physicians within the same group and specialty can as well.

How many dietician physician group practices are there in the U.S.?

Our database shows that there are 397 active dietician physician group practices in the U.S. Because physician groups, especially large ones, typically operate multiple facilities, this number does not reflect the number of dietician practices in the United States.

Why target dietician physician groups?

Targeting a private practice doctor instead of a hospital or health system allows you to more easily contact their executives and decision-makers, offering a direct line to those in charge of making decisions. Private practice dieticians may be part of a physician group and could be key targets for your marketing efforts.

Physicians at dietician practices are specialists in counseling their patients on nutrition issues and healthy eating habits, which may involve assistance in losing or gaining weight. In order to offer these nutritional services, dieticians rely heavily on the proper equipment, technology, and trained staff—only with all three can they provide the best patient outcomes, improving both health and quality of life.

The operational needs of large dietician physician groups can present significant sales opportunities to your business. Since physician groups often centralize their purchasing decisions, targeting a physician group can lead to bulk sales and long-term partnerships.

Additionally, dieticians and nutritional professionals are among the specialties with the greatest growth in claims, indicating the field is expanding.
