Dr. Brian Hartman
Dr. Brian Hartman finds it an honour and a privilege to be a part of the Well Fed Team. He fortunately became acquainted with the field of lactation medicine when assigned to a breastfeeding clinic as his primary training site in medical residency. This was a true blessing, as he has loved every moment working alongside individuals, partners and their newborns in their journey to optimal breastfeeding. He finds there is no greater satisfaction than helping a
baby grow and aiding an individual in achieving this goal. Aside from his work, he spends time with his partner and their rescued dog, in addition to expanding his movie trivia knowledge and continuing to promise his friends and family that he will learn to ski and snowboard because the Rocky Mountains are just in his backyard. He is a Family Physician and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).
