About the Doctor

Dr. Kenneth D. Terry is a compassionate and exceptionally well-regarded family medicine physician serving the Barstow, California community with 11 to 20 years of dedicated primary care practice. He earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree from the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific — an institution known for its holistic, whole-person approach to medical education — and completed his residency in Family Medicine at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center from 2016 to 2019, gaining comprehensive clinical training in the full spectrum of adult and pediatric health needs.

Dr. Terry practices at High Desert Medical Corporation and is affiliated with Barstow Community Hospital, serving as a trusted primary care resource for patients across the High Desert region of California. His osteopathic training and patient-centered philosophy translate into a distinctive style of care — one that is thorough, unhurried, and deeply attentive to both the physical and mental well-being of his patients. He is particularly skilled at identifying the root causes of health concerns rather than simply treating surface-level symptoms, and he consistently involves patients as active partners in their own health decisions.

Patients consistently describe Dr. Terry as one of the most attentive, compassionate, and thorough physicians they have encountered, resulting in a near-perfect 4.9 out of 5 patient rating from 108 reviews and recognition through six patient awards, including the prestigious Patients’ Top Choice designation. He holds an active California State Medical License through 2026, accepts Medicare and United Healthcare, and is currently welcoming new patients.
