Food & Nurtrition

Dietary Services
Wholesome, nourishing, and well-balanced meals are an important part of your treatment and recovery. Doctors Hospital provides nutritious meals. If you are on a special diet prescribed by your doctor, you will receive meals tailored to your specific needs.

Patients are served breakfast between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m., lunch between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., and dinner between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. Occasionally your meal may be delayed when you are scheduled for a special test or treatment. Whenever possible, you will be served after your examination or test.

If a family member or friend wants to eat in your room with you, the person may go to the cafeteria, buy a meal there, and take it back to your room. If the person does not want to go to the cafeteria, a guest meal tray can be ordered with approval from the Service Excellence coordinator. Please let your nurse know if a guest tray is desired. Charges for this service will be added to your hospital bill.
