About Brian 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.

Doctor Barmettler is such a caring doctor. He truly has helped my hubby and I with any health issues or concerns we have had. We think so highly of him. We know that the healthcare system has its challenges, however, we are thrilled that we are with Sharp and our primary care doctor is Doctor B!!
