Dr. Jennifer Seger is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio. After completing her residency at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, she established a family medicine practice in San Antonio, where she developed a strong interest in wellness and preventative health care. As a Board-Certified Family Medicine physician, Dr. Seger saw many patients affected by obesity yet found herself struggling to provide effective recommendations for them. Dr. Seger made the decision to dedicate her practice to the prevention and treatment of obesity, becoming very involved with OMA and becoming a diplomate of American Board of Obesity Medicine in 2011.
She currently serves as the Medical Director of Seger MD, which offers both comprehensive medical weight loss as well as pre- and post-operative care for patients undergoing bariatric surgery. In addition to previously serving as a Board Trustee for OMA and serving two terms as a Director for the American Board of Obesity Medicine, Dr. Seger has been active on numerous committees at OMA, is the current President of the San Antonio Obesity Society, and plays an active role in advocacy for obesity care in the state of Texas. Dr. Seger enjoys speaking at local events to raise awareness about obesity and working with medical students and residents in the Obesity Medicine elective she created.
