About Brian Barmettler, MD
I chose to pursue medicine to assist people with their health and decided on internal medicine as my specialty in order to develop ongoing relationships with patients. The opportunity to collaborate with patients and help them with their health is rewarding. I believe in working with each individual in addition to their other providers with a teamlike attitude. 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 guitar and ukulele, and traveling when I am not working.

This is one of the best experiences I have ever had with a physician - he listened to my concerns and promptly ordered a blood test and chest x-ray.

Dr. Barmettler alway discusses issues and treatments with me in understandable terms. He is an excellent listener and he has a great memory. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone I cared about.
