David L. Barnes, MD

I grew up in Newellton, Louisiana, a small farming community in Northeast Louisiana. My mom and dad owned and operated a Western Auto store for 50 years in that community. I inherited a love for sports from my mom and dad, playing every sport available growing up. This translated into an active lifestyle as an adult. My wife and our adult children continue to run and exercise. After 39 years in general family practice, I affiliated with MDVIP to bring my lifelong passion and pursuit of wellness and fitness to the forefront for my patients. 

My MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice is built around a comprehensive annual wellness program where I work with my patients to analyze their current health and work with them to create a customized action plan on how to improve it. I also get to return to my earlier days of practicing medicine with unhurried, individualized and proactive care. I will continue to address and help treat current medical conditions and other issues that may arise. Should you need hospitalization, I utilize the hospitalist programs at both St. Francis Medical Center in Monroe and Glenwood Regional Medical Center in West Monroe. We, in the Monroe-West Monroe medical community, serve northeast Louisiana, including Ouachita and Lincoln parishes along with southeast Arkansas.
