Kimberly Hyatt, MPH, RD, LDN

Kimberly Hyatt, MPH, RD, LDN is a registered dietitian specializing in obesity medicine. She is a graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where she concurrently completed a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. She graduated with her Master of Public Health from University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 2021. She has been in practice since 2010, and has worked extensively in acute care, critical care, and community nutrition.  

She transitioned from an acute care hospital to bariatric medicine in 2016 when she began working with Dr. Waked. She is currently the program manager and registered dietitian for Beebe Center for Weight Loss Surgery. Kim is responsible for maintaining the facility accreditation through the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP). The MBSAQIP "works to advance safe, high-quality care for bariatric surgical patients through the accreditation of bariatric surgical centers. A bariatric surgical center achieves accreditation following a rigorous review process during which it proves that it can maintain certain physical resources, human resources, and standards of practice." 

Kim  guides bariatric patients through their pre and post-operative period, which includes classes, support groups, and addressing any questions or concerns that patients may have along their journey. She has a passion for teaching and behavioral modification leading to sustainable healthful habits. She believes a collaborative approach to care produces the most successful patient, which includes a strong surgical team, a well-defined program, and a committed patient. Kim values the connection that she makes with each patient and uses every appointment as an opportunity for learning and growth. Obesity is a complex disease with multiple social, genetic, and environmental factors that can affect one's weight. Kim understands these challenges and is dedicated to the success of each individual patient.
