Meet Our Team
I’m Courtney Barrett, a wife and mother, a patient myself, and a passionate direct primary care physician! My business partner is husband, Jeff, who has always been a source of unwavering support and encouragement. We have one son, Landon, who joined the family in 2017. We are animal lovers throughout— home to six rescued dogs (a few of which you will see in the office), and two orange (and strange) rescued cats.
Our family is long rooted in service to others – Jeff was working as a Volunteer firefighter and Courtney was a Paramedic when they first met. He has worked in 911 emergency telecommunications for over twelve years during my medical training and early years as a physician.
Through God’s grace and the encouragement of friends and family, we launched True Insight Direct Care in 2025 to serve the community of Raleigh, Wake Forest, and the surrounding areas.
Through our combined experiences, Jeff and I share a passion for bringing healthcare back to its roots: to truly caring for others, to treating community like family, and to helping others achieve health, happiness, and more fulfilled lives.
She is passionate about partnering closely with patients and helping people obtain their best health. She has been on both sides of the stethoscope and enjoys meeting people where they’re at and celebrating success during their health journey. She is passionate about preventative direct primary care and helping others with maintaining their best quality of life.
In addition to her work in healthcare, she serves as a board member for Hope & Vine, a Wake Forest–based nonprofit dedicated to supporting young women who have aged out of the foster care system by providing mentorship, employment assistance, and connections to essential community resources.
She enjoys traveling and experiencing other cultures, gardening, and spending time outside doing pretty much anything! You can always find her saying hello to a random dog she meets!

Courtney Barrett, D.O.
Dr. Courtney Barrett is a board certified internal medicine physician. She graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2007 from Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida with her bachelor’s in science with a focus on biology, chemistry, and psychology. She worked in emergency medical services as a paramedic before obtaining her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, Pennsylvania. She completed internal medicine residency at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
During rotations in training, she found herself enjoying all specialties, especially critical care medicine. Despite her skill and love of procedures, she found herself drawn most of all to the long term relationships she made with patients and families.
After relocating to Wake Forest, Dr. Barrett started her career as a physician with UNC Family Medicine in Wakefield and later in private practice in North Raleigh. She took a brief medical leave before returning to clinical care with a startup practice in RTP, focusing on preventative, longevity care.
Jeff Barrett
Jeff grew up in Syracuse, New York, and has dedicated much of his life to serving others. His diverse professional background includes restaurant management, medical supply distribution, and extensive experience in public safety as a 911 and police dispatcher. He also served as a volunteer firefighter for approximately five years in the Syracuse area, responding to more than 1,100 calls for service and earning numerous certifications and recognitions, including Rookie of the Year.
In 2017, Jeff and his family relocated to North Carolina, where he spent several years as a stay-at-home parent to their son, Landon. He later returned to public safety before transitioning full-time to True Insight Direct Care in August 2025.
Jeff's own healthcare experiences have given him a unique perspective on the importance of compassionate, accessible, and personalized medical care. After suffering a stroke in 2019 at just 36 years old and navigating the challenges of chronic back pain, he understands firsthand the value of having a healthcare provider who truly listens and advocates for their patients. These experiences, combined with his lifelong commitment to helping others, played an important role in establishing True Insight Direct Care alongside his wife, Dr. Courtney Barrett.
Today, Jeff oversees the practice's business operations and administrative responsibilities while also assisting with patient care.
Outside of the practice, Jeff enjoys bowling, building with Legos, cooking and baking, traveling (especially cruising), watching television and movies, and spending time with his family and their six rescue dogs.
