Dr. Scheck has recently completed his residency.  He has taken formal training in both allopathic medicine (medical school and residency) and alternative medicine (oriental medical school, naturopathic school), it has given him both a view and skill set very different from the new residency graduate. 

Over the last couple of years, he has become keenly interested in basic lifestyle intervention as an active medical therapy.  Medical bariatrics (medical weight loss), motivational interviewinng and exercise physiology have been the main tools to work with such diagnoses as obesity, hypertension, diabetes 2, depression, metabolic syndrome, arthritis and fibromyalgia.  Besides reduction of disease burden, he finds that his patients are reporting increased energy, satisfaction with medical management and, not surprising, increased satisfaction with their personal life.
