Patient Reviews
Mar 26, 2024
Dr. Scheifer is a force of nature. I developed Type 2 diabetes at around 54. My primary care doctor attempted everything he knew to get my blood sugar and my weight down with oral medication, diet, and exercise. I self referred to Dr. Scheifer with his approval. She tried using maximum doses of oral medications. I was loosing weight but my blood sugar remained high. Dr. Scheifer explained what the long term risk of chronically elevated blood sugar were and recommended one of the new injectable medications. I did not realize how sick I felt until my A1c dropped into the normal range. She is a patient first physician. She does not give up and refuses to let you give up.
