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.

I feel very fortunate to have Doctor Barmetter as my primary care physician. He is an exceptional doctor. He truly listens, is extremely thorough, and takes his time to understand the full picture of my health. He actively works to coordinate and secure the best possible care for my current health concerns. I feel well supported, heard, and confident in my care under his guidance. We switched to the Medicare Sharp Health Plan because of how well we feel treated and heard.
