Today we’d like to introduce you to Drs. Mickey & Jenny Seger.
Hi Drs. Mickey & Jenny, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
We started Seger MD with a shared vision: to combine medical expertise with compassionate, personalized care that truly transforms lives. Dr. Mickey’s journey began in medicine with a deep interest in surgery and the science of weight management, while Dr. Jenny’s passion has always been in creating meaningful patient connections and ensuring every individual feels supported through their health journey.
Over the years, our paths naturally came together—blending clinical excellence with a focus on whole-person care. What began as a small practice with a big dream has grown into a team and community we’re so proud of today. Every step has been guided by the belief that health is not just about procedures or numbers, but about empowering people to reclaim their lives, confidence, and joy.
We’re grateful for where this journey has taken us and excited for all that’s ahead.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Anyone who tells you starting and running a business as a couple is a walk in the park is probably not being completely transparent. While the journey has been mostly exciting, it has also required us to dig deep in terms of communication. As parents of five children, we’ve learned that we won’t always agree—and that truth carries over into business as well. Thankfully, we share a strong mutual respect and admiration for one another, which allows us to maximize our strengths and step in for each other when one of us is feeling challenged. At the end of the day, we are truly better together.
Starting a new practice in our 50s was both absolutely amazing and, at times, terrifying. Dr. Mickey tends to dream big with creative (and sometimes whacky) ideas, while Dr. Jenny’s steady path helps keep those ideas grounded. What makes it work is the deep trust, love, and balance we’ve built as partners in life and in this mission. That foundation is what continues to guide us forward.
As you know, we’re big fans of Seger MD- Wellness Weight & Management . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
We utilizes a comprehensive approach to weight loss, including addressing the many weight-related conditions and illnesses that can be associated with excess weight and the dysfunction of that excess fat tissue. With our combined 40 years of medical expertise, we understand that obesity is a disease and empathize with the challenges faced by those who have struggled to lose weight.
Over the past 40 years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the U.S. has more than doubled in adults and quadrupled in adolescents (CDC), yet the education of many physicians and other healthcare providers is greatly lacking. It is a fact that most medical schools and residency programs do not include obesity-specific education, leaving physicians with a great void when it comes to treating patients who struggle with what is now the most common chronic disease of modern times, obesity.
We are both board-certified experts in obesity treatment, provide a comprehensive range of services at Seger | MD. We have all your needs covered under one roof including…

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
Risk-taking has definitely been part of our story.
One of the biggest risks we’ve taken was starting a new practice later in life. It was a bold move that felt equal parts exciting and daunting, but it reminded us that growth often comes when you step outside your comfort zone. For us, risk doesn’t mean chasing every possibility—it means being willing to take a leap when the vision feels aligned with our values and our purpose. That mindset, along with the trust we have in each other, has made all the difference.
