Hello, and welcome.
I’m Dr. Dean J. Scherer, a Chiropractic Physician with more than three decades of experience helping individuals and families move better, feel better, and build lasting health.
My goal has always been simple: to care for people the way I would want my own family to be cared for — with time, attention, compassion, and a clear path toward meaningful, long-term improvement.
This was quite a few years ago. 😁
My Story
My path into health care has always been guided by a desire to serve, teach, and help people experience real change in their lives.
I earned my Doctorate in Chiropractic in 1992 from Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City, now Cleveland University in Overland Park, Kansas. After completing my National and State Board examinations, my family and I moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where I began my clinical practice.
Since that time, I have been caring for patients as a licensed Chiropractic Physician, and today I continue to practice part-time with Woodland Health, Inc. at Care Family Medical and Chiropractic Clinic, while also providing private chiropractic services in the greater Oklahoma City area.
Not long after beginning my practice, another calling in my life continued to grow — teaching.
In 2004, I joined the faculty at Oklahoma State University–Oklahoma City as a member of the Science Department. What began as an opportunity to teach quickly became one of the greatest blessings of my professional life.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with thousands of students, many of whom have gone on to serve in nursing and other health professions. Being part of their journey has been incredibly meaningful to me.
I served as Lead Instructor for Anatomy and Physiology for 15 years, was granted tenure in 2010, and in 2015 was honored with the rank of Professor. As our department has grown, my role has evolved, and since 2019 I have served as Lead Instructor of Human Physiology.
Balancing patient care and teaching has shaped who I am. It allows me to live in both worlds — working one-on-one with individuals to restore their health while helping students understand the incredible design and function of the human body.
Each strengthens the other.
My clinical work keeps my teaching practical and grounded in real life, and my teaching keeps me constantly learning and growing for the benefit of my patients.
This journey — as a doctor, professor, lifelong student, and servant to others — forms the foundation of SchererHealth.
Because for me, this has never been just a career.
It is a calling.
“As someone who had to work hard for my own education, I have always had a special passion for helping others realize that they are capable of far more than they believe.”
My Approach to Care
Through my work with Woodland Health, Inc., at Care Family Medical and Chiropractic Clinic, I provide patient-centered care that focuses on restoring function, reducing pain, and improving overall health.
My approach integrates:
• Chiropractic care
• Neuromuscular and rehabilitative techniques
• Physiology-based nutritional insights
• Patient education and lifestyle guidance
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work with individuals to better understand the underlying physiological factors that influence their health and well-being.
This perspective has naturally led to the development of Dr. Scherer’s Nutritional Insights (DSNI) — a physiology-based framework that helps individuals better understand how the body functions and how everyday choices influence energy, metabolism, and long-term health.
SchererHealth
SchererHealth.com extends this work beyond the clinic and classroom, providing a place where individuals can explore physiology-based health insights and connect for professional consultation.
Through SchererHealth, individuals may access:
• Chiropractic care
• Physiology-based consultation
• Educational health resources
• Professional nutritional support
Everything offered here reflects decades of experience in both clinical practice and physiology education.
My purpose is not only to help individuals get out of pain, but to help them build a stronger, more resilient foundation for long-term health.
I look forward to working with those who are committed to understanding and improving the physiological foundations of their health.
