Meet Dr. Schmitz
Dr. Schmitz is a board-certified family medicine and obesity medicine physician. She specializes in weight management and is passionate about preventative medicine while partnering with patients to achieve their health goals.
In her 10+ years practicing primary care, Dr. Schmitz saw many of her patients struggling with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, joint pain, fatigue, and several other weight-related health conditions. She knew there had to be a more productive and lasting method to treat and prevent these serious health issues patients were facing. So many of these chronic conditions were the result of a single culprit – excess weight.
Dr. Schmitz pursued knowledge and specialty training in medical weight loss and became a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine in 2017. This specialty training provided the knowledge to create a comprehensive, evidence-based medical program designed to promote safe and effective weight loss without surgical intervention and provide the tools and support to keep the weight off.
Dr. Schmitz introduced her program to her patients in her primary care practice, and soon, not only did patients lose weight (and keep it off) successfully, but their chronic health conditions reversed. The need for medications for conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes declined and their energy levels and quality of life significantly improved. Unfortunately, the traditional medical clinic schedule leaves little time to dedicate to weight management in a comprehensive and effective way. This can lead to inadequate treatment, limited guidance, lack of progress, and weight regain, all of which can leave patients feeling frustrated and hopeless.
After years of seeing the joy of success in her patients, Dr. Schmitz made the choice to focus solely on providing medical weight loss and, in 2024, established Revive Health Medical Weight Loss & Wellness. With her extensive medical background and training, Dr. Schmitz is able to remain mindful of co-existing and pre-existing conditions as well as new medical concerns that may arise throughout your weight loss journey. This ensures safety throughout the process. Her goal is to help patients become healthier in body AND mind, to ensure lasting weight loss and health for years to come!
