Dr. Barnes has been my primary care physician for the last 10 years. I came to Dr. Barnes with a chronic health issue and found that he listens well, and is willing to research and dig for the answers, unlike other physicians who provide superficially inadequate answers. Dr. Barnes has provided me with a great deal of insight into the causative factors involved in my chronic issue and has… See more

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Barnes
There is nothing more stressful than a medical crisis - the panic, fear and racing heart! Dr. Barnes, you have always been the calm, steady voice of reason for my husband and I.
You were the calm voice when my baby brother was dying from Covid and when my 93 year old mother needed to be taken to the hospital with possible Covid. You worked my husband through complications of hip and… See more
Hello, my name is Ray Felice. I am a retired Pontiac Michigan police officer . after years of responding to emergencies at Pontiac osteopathic Hospital now McLaren Hospital I became very familiar with a large number of emergency room doctors one doctor in particular Dr. Doyle was a personal friend. I asked him upon my retirement if he could recommend a doctor since I didn't have one at… See more
Dr Barnes is the best Dr I’ve ever had. I’ve had other good Dr’s but he is the best. He has such patience when listening to all my concerns & always takes time to answer my concerns in detail. Never do I feel he’s rushing through answers to hurry things up. He also does such a thorough job of explaining test results so I can understand them clearly. I… See more
Although I have been seeing Dr. Barnes for many years, I haven't had a lot of problems. I do a physical once a year and see him 6 months later so he can prescribe medications as needed. I suffered with frequent migraine headaches most of my life till they stopped in my mid 60's. In my early 70's I started to be short of breath for just a few seconds while cutting the grass and… See more
My MDVIP doctor, Robert Barnes, is awesome individual. No school can teach you to be a kind, caring and compassionate man. In my book, that's what separates a good doctor from a great doctor. You take that personality, and combine it with a doctor that never disappoints you with his doctoring skills, and you have Dr. Barnes. I pray that he never moves away or retirers before I leave… See more
I have many problems and other doctors have given up. Dr. Barnes sees you as an individual that responds to different medications differently. He keeps looking for solutions even though several years have gone by. It seems as though one thing is solved, and another arises. He keeps finding ways to keep me going. Another great thing he does is direct you to specialists that along with being… See more
Dr Barns is exactly what you want in a doctor. I’ve never felt rushed during an appointment. He listens very carefully, and is very thorough.
We live six months in Florida, and six months in Michigan. my husband‘s primary doctor is in Florida and Dr Barnes is my primary In Michigan. Returning to Michigan one year, my husband needed some radiation treatments. Dr Barnes helped him get… See more
Doctor Barnes is juggling my 8+ serious medical issues.
He is doing a much better job than the Previous non-MDVIP Doctors.
He is helping me to manage the medical issues I have.
And he finds indications of issues from the tests conducted and his personal exams; and pursues them to make me feel better.
Obviously, he is guided by the MDVIP concepts, but, in my opinion, he… See more
There are not enough superlative words to describe Dr. Barnes and the care he gives to my family as well as to all of his patients. He gives so much time and cares so much about me and my whole family and we all feel the same about him. He is there whenever we call, text or send an email. He always answers and goes above and beyond. He monitored my husband when he was in the hospital for a… See more
