About Brian D. Barmettler, MD
I chose to pursue medicine to assist people with their health and decided on internal medicine as my specialty so that I can develop ongoing relationships with my patients. The opportunity to collaborate with patients and help them with their health is highly rewarding. I believe in working with each individual in addition to their other providers with a team-like attitude. I believe that using good communication to develop relationships with patients is important. I enjoy getting to know people and learning about their lives and interests. I love reading, paddleboarding, playing the guitar and ukulele, and traveling when I am not working.
