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.

Testimonials from patients of Robert C. Barnes, DO

Good Dr Barnes

from Cindy in MI • February 16, 2024
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 hope Read more...

My history with Dr Robert Barnes

from Raymond in MI • February 16, 2024
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 that Read more...

A Life Saved

from David in MI • February 12, 2024
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 then Read more...

Making Your Life Better

from MARILU in MI • February 12, 2024
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 good Read more...

Good man first, best doctor ever

from Jeffrey in MI • February 12, 2024
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 Read more...
