Kerbie Barrantes, DNP
Kerbie holds a Master of Science degree in Nursing from the University of Phoenix and a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Washington State University. He is also certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner with the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
Kerbie, as he prefers to be addressed, started his healthcare career in 1999 as a Physical Therapist. Having served several stints as a CCU RN at Grays Harbor Community Hospital, he noticed a clear shortage of medical providers in Grays Harbor County. Recognizing the need, Kerbie decided to go back to school so he could start a practice devoted to providing professional, comprehensive, and compassionate medical care services for individuals and families in rural communities. Having grown up in a rural area of the Philippines, Kerbie is dedicated to offering his skills as a healthcare professional and understands the challenges faced in our rural community.
Kerbie is passionate about patient-centered care and wants to help you attain your healthcare goals by building trusting and a long-lasting relationship. Kerbie believes in continuous learning and as he says, “I’m always looking for ways to improve my skills and to continue learning so that I can offer the best comprehensive healthcare for my patients.”
He values his time serving our country in the United States Navy Reserves Nursing Corps, affording him an opportunity to provide his healthcare experience to our deserving military as a Reserve Navy Officer. Away from work, Kerbie enjoys outdoor activities, spending time with family and friends, and perfecting his culinary skills in his kitchen.
