Barry, Ann, MD

In family medicine, my goal is to listen to every patient, treat the whole person, and work together to help them stay active and feel well. I believe it is a privilege to care for multiple generations of a family and to witness children grow up. Having the opportunity to be part of your journey, no matter where you are in life, is what makes this work so rewarding.

At Entira, one of the most satisfying parts of my job is seeing medicine return to a place where doctors are empowered to make decisions alongside patients. I believe in collaborating closely with my patients and their families, tailoring each encounter to their unique needs, histories, and desired outcomes.

My Approach to Care

I strive to approach every patient with care, compassion, and respect for their individuality. Whether it’s addressing a specific health concern or supporting long-term wellness, I believe in listening deeply and understanding the person behind the symptoms. It’s all about building a partnership and creating a care plan that works for you.
