Meet Dr. Schmitz
Dr. Schmitz is a board-certified Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician. She specializes in weight management and is dedicated to promoting preventative health, working with patients to help them reach their wellness 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, complicated 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 2018. This specialty training provides 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.
Unfortunately, the traditional medical clinic schedule leaves little time to dedicate to weight management in a thorough and effective manner. As a result, patients may experience inadequate treatment, limited guidance, lack of progress, and potential weight regain. They may also be tempted by fad diets or invest in costly supplements and ineffective programs that fail to deliver results, leaving patients feeling frustrated and discouraged.
After years of seeing the joy of success in her patients, Dr. Schmitz established Revive Health Medical Weight Loss & Wellness to bridge the gap between primary care and the resources patients deserve to regain their health, once and for all. With her extensive medical background and experience, Dr. Schmitz is able to remain mindful of pre-existing conditions, partner with other members of your healthcare team, as well as assist in managing any new medical concerns that may arise throughout your weight loss journey. This ensures safety throughout the process.
