Meet Robert C. Barnes, DO


I always try to treat patients with respect – with consideration for their individual circumstances and experiences. I consider it my job to act as a resource and support for my patients, through positive reinforcement, discussion and education. The medical world has become quite complex and difficult to navigate and it is important to remember that we work for patients (not the other way around), that first and foremost it is important to be advocates for our patients, and that we are on the same team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

from Ron in MI • February 26, 2024
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 Read more...

Dr. Barnes -- you are the best!

from Belinda in MI • February 18, 2024
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 knee Read more...
