President & Medical Director, Barreto Health Care, MDVIP.Medical Director & Primary Investigator Memorial Clinical Research  

The guiding principle in my practice of family medicine is to treat each patient as a unique and complete person, looking at their specific disease risk and medical conditions, and form a strong partnership with them to carry out a plan that will improve their health and minimize their risk of serious illness. I am passionate about using a combination of traditional medicine in tandem with evidence-based, safe alternative therapies tailored to the puzzle that is each patient. I enjoy the unhurried appointments I have in my practice as I am able to develop a close relationship with each patient as we work together to achieve their health goals. My MDVIP-affiliated practice also offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

I offer patients a blend of expertise in family medicine & geriatrics combined with a knowledge of cutting-edge, preventive anti-aging & regenerative medicine strategies. In addition to benefiting from the full spectrum of conventional primary care services at my clinic, my personalized healthcare patients, both men and women, often avail of the additional bioidentical hormone management, weight management and pain management options I offer - all under one roof. As a personal doctor serving the Oklahoma City & Edmond communities, I am dedicated to anticipating and managing all of your unique health care needs in a warm, compassionate and professional way.
