My name is Dr. Dan Reiffenberger. I am a Family Physician, Board certified in Sports Medicine as well. I am here to help you get motivated to perform exercise, and to answer any questions you may have about exercise, health, and wellness.
Bio: Dr. Dan is the Brown Clinic’s Chief Medical Officer. He received his education at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1986. He attended the University of South Dakota Medical School in Sioux Falls, completing his medical degree in 1991. His medical education continued through his internship and residency at the Sioux Falls Family Practice Center, finishing in 1994. Dr. Reiffenberger is board-certified with the American Board of Family Practice and also has a Certificate of Added Qualification (Board Certification) in Sports Medicine.
He and his wife, Dr. Sarah Reiffenberger, are avid runners. They participate in competition when their busy work life and their children allow time.
Dr. Dan focuses his blog posts on activity, ways to engage family and friends in activity, motivation, and healthy living. He also leads our 12 week wellness program. Over 16 years ago Dr. Dan wrote a grant for the American College of Sports Medicine in regards of development of a fitness program entitled Strive to Survive. The STRIVE represents “Securing Time for Regular Involvement in a Variety of Exercise”. Since that time, it has become our Brown Clinic Wellness Program, with modifications and improvements along the way.
