Health Quest Medical Practice’s bariatric team recently added a clinician who specializes in medical weight loss for people struggling with obesity.
Jennifer Scheffler, who holds a doc- tor of nursing practice degree, sees patients in the medical prac
tice’s general surgery office on the campus of Northern Dutchess Hospital. The board-certified family nurse practitioner will focus on individualized nonsurgical weight loss options for patients who don’t qualify for bariatric surgery or
prefer a non-surgical approach.
Previously, Scheffler was with SCL Health’s St. Mary’s Medical Center in Colorado as the lead clinician of bariatric and obesity medicine management. She also spent three years in Texas as a bariatric surgical nurse practitioner, where she worked with bariatric surgeon Dr. Garth Davis at The Davis Clinic in
Houston from 2016-2018. She clinically specializes in both obesity medicine management and bariatric surgery.
Scheffler received her doctorate from Walden University in Minneapolis with summa cum laude distinction and her master’s degree in nursing from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash. She is also a U.S. Air Force veteran.
