Biography


Dr. Sellmeyer is an internationally recognized expert in Metabolic Bone Disease. She is a renowned clinician who joined the Stanford faculty in 2018 as a Professor of Medicine. She has been recognized for her clinical excellence with induction into the Miller Coulson Academy of Clinical Excellence while she was at Johns Hopkins. In addition to her clinical expertise, Dr. Sellmeyer maintains a research program that centers on the effect of nutrition and environmental factors on skeletal metabolism which she has investigated through both smaller CRC-based trials and large multi-center trials. Studies she has conducted have investigated the role of dietary sodium chloride, source of dietary protein (animal, vegetable, dairy, soy), role of dietary potassium and alkaline potassium salts, targeted thoracic exercises on kyphosis, whether structured exercise can prevent bone loss in premenopausal women treated for breast cancer, and studies validating nutritional assessment questionnaires. Her expertise as a clinical researcher has enabled development of a multi-disciplinary translational research team including basic scientists in the orthopedic department, junior faculty members with K grant funding, and basic scientists in the endocrine division to develop translational projects studying the effects of osteoporosis medications on basic elements of skeletal biology utilizing bone biopsies from treated individuals as well as clinical trials of novel therapies for rare bone disorders. Dr. Sellmeyer also is a esteemed educator, having received multiple teaching awards.

Dr. Sellmeyer is truly an asset to Stanford University & to me. I am seeing her for my osteoporosis & she is just an amazingly knowledgeable physician in this specialty. She is so “down to earth†in explaining my lab results & paints a simple/succinct explanation of the condition of my bones. I have been seeing her since relocating, in 2017. She brought hope to my life/bones. She has explained to me so many encouraging things about my bones, that were not told explained to me by my previous physicians. She is the Best of the Best, in her specialty !! I am truly blessed to have her as my endocrinologist. I always tell her that, in the course of my visits with her. She brings joy to my life. Very glad to be documenting this Thank you, Janet Matsuda

Dr Deborah Sellmeyer is the best endocrinologist specialist doctor, I am grateful to be her patient.
Dr. Sellmeyer is, in my opinion, the model of what a physician should be. She has an impressive academic and professional background, is very pleasant and never seems rushed, listens well, and always asks if I have any questions. When my neighbor asked me who I'd recommend for an endocrinologist, I didn't hesitate to tell her about Dr. Sellmeyer. Subsequently, she made an appointment with her, and now we're both members of that particular doctor's fan club.
Great doctor, very intelligent, listens , friendly , explains everything.
She is great and I am so happy to have her as my physician. She helped put my bone density info into perspective and it certainly helps that the news was better than I thought.
Thank you so mucho doctor Sellmeyerr fo everitthing
Very approachable and I feel confident in her competence.
Excellent physician and good communicator.
Dr Sellmeyer is super smart, talks really fast. I had to ask her to repeat 3 times and when she slowed down it was much better, but I think it was mostly the sound system. If she leaned back it was harder to make out what she was saying. Over all I got the information I needed.
I'm so fortunate to have her as my doctor! She is prompt, thoughtful, kind, on top of my medical situation, asks good questions, defines next steps well and is an advocate for my overall good health.
Great Doctor. She really listens.
She's a great doctor in every aspect!
