Bed­side man­ner, and con­nect­ing with my patients, are very impor­tant parts of my prac­tice. My goals dur­ing vis­its are to deter­mine the cause of symp­toms through test­ing (when indi­cat­ed and desired), edu­cate patients and fam­i­lies on their con­di­tions, set up a thor­ough treat­ment plan, and ulti­mate­ly improve my patients’ qual­i­ty of life.

"I've already recommended her a lot. And two friends recommended her to me. I've had vertigo for a week but no one recognized this except Dr Barnes. My neurologist didn't figure it out nor did the ER doctor nor my family doctor. I'll forever be grateful Dr Barnes took the time with me to help. I'm so much better now."

"Dr. Barnes has been an absolute Godsend to my son and our entire family! We are beyond blessed to have her clinical expertise and her tireless dedication to advocating for her patients. She spent countless hours trying to obtain approval for a medication that she knew would help our son but was a financial impossibility for our family. Because of her efforts, our son was able to obtain this medication and it has literally proven life changing for him. We are forever grateful for her kindness, dedication, and support in this endeavor."
