Dr. Sherri Thomas: Empathetic Expert

Losing weight can be a frightening and isolating journey. It’s hard to know where to start, and even more difficult to ensure weight maintenance after the number on the scale goes down. Many people struggling with weight or obesity can benefit from the guidance and expertise of a healthcare physician when striving to meet their health goals. Sherri Thomas, D.O., is always prepared to step up and help patients change their habits for lifelong wellness and benefits.

Dr. Sherri Thomas has years of experience in the medical field, even before she specialized in Obesity Medicine. Her credentials include:

• A 2007 medical degree at A.T. Still University
• An Internal Medicine Residency at Banner University Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ
• Lincoln healthcare professional since 2013

Her interest in obesity medicine began when she noticed many of her patients struggling with weight loss. Her own experience with weight management drove her to pursue additional training in the evaluation and treatment of weight as a chronic disease. In 2016, Dr. Thomas became a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine and never looked back – she has practiced Obesity Medicine exclusively since obtaining her dual certification.

Dr. Thomas finds great professional satisfaction in helping her patients reverse weight-related consequences through healthier and more balanced lifestyles. She knows firsthand what it takes to adopt healthy habits, and her professional training in Obesity Medicine means she is equipped to handle any roadblocks that occur in her patients’ journeys. Her certifications and life experience allow her to care for patients with empathy and oversee research-based treatment plans.

When she isn’t with patients, Dr. Thomas enjoys cooking, strength training, spinning, reading (listening to audiobooks these days while running her children’s taxi service), traveling, and being outdoors with her husband and three handsome, clever, and fun-loving sons.
