Dr. Clete Barrick

I am on tirzepatide. I have lost 80 pounds on it, and I am in my maintenance phase. I am not practicing from detached clinical distance. I know what it feels like when food noise goes quiet for the first time. I understand how it feels to hit a weight loss plateau and to break through it with patience and persistence.

I have treated well over 5,000 patients with GLP-1 medications, and every care plan I write reflects that experience.

I earned my medical degree from the University of Washington School of Medicine and completed my residency in internal medicine at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. I spent eight years as an active-duty naval officer, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, including two years with the 3rd Marine Division in Okinawa, Japan. That experience gave me a deep respect for what fitness, nutrition, and mental toughness can do for health outcomes, and it is built into every care plan I write today.

I am dual board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine. GLP-1 management is my specialty, but it is not the only tool I use. I prescribe physician-directed peptide therapy protocols (BPC-157, growth hormone secretagogues, and others) for tissue repair, recovery, inflammation, and body composition. I build custom fitness programs and nutrition plans that work alongside your medications rather than being treated as an afterthought. For patients who want a single physician managing their entire health picture, my comprehensive concierge program covers primary care, longevity medicine, hormone optimization, and direct cell phone access.

Barrick Health exists because I believe you deserve a physician who actually knows you. My practice is small on purpose. I limit my patients so every person gets real time and attention. When you message me, I respond the same day. When your labs come back, I review them personally. Whether your goal is weight loss, better recovery, hormonal optimization, or having one doctor who coordinates everything, this is the practice I built to deliver that.

If you have been bounced between providers, handed a prescription without a plan, or told that a GLP-1 script is the whole treatment: it does not have to be that way. That is what Barrick Health is for.
