Dr. Joseph Barrett is a native of Tacoma and a graduate of the California College of Podiatric Medicine in San Francisco during its affiliation with the University of California at San Francisco. He was in private practice in Tacoma for 36 years and participated in a group practice for an additional 2.5 years. Dr. Barrett and his sidekick, Laddie (office mascot - Jack Russell Terrier), are excited to be practicing with the physicians at Kitsap Foot and Ankle Clinic, in both Bremerton and Port Orchard.
While Dr. Barrett's expertise is in general podiatry/surgery, he does have an affinity for Sports Medicine and Pediatric podiatry. He enjoys working with kids of all ages, involved in all types of sports. Laddie, on the other hand, is particularly fond of the ladies and treats. Dr. Barrett's most unique characteristic is in his approach to your treatment. Instead of simply treating your symptoms, he is uniquely intrigued with discovering the root cause and aiming treatment at that level whenever possible. In other words, it is not enough to diagnose that you have plantar fasciitis, or a bunion, or other foot/ankle malady. It's more important to him to discover why you have these problems, so they can be successfully treated in the most natural way possible and thereby ensure that they are not likely to reoccur. Surgery is always his "court of last resort", unless you present for the express purpose of having surgical treatment. He's a firm believer in the phrase, "Happy feet create an active life!".
