Meet Cedric T. Barnes, DO, FAAFP


"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane." – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. That statement has remained with me most of my college and medical school career and helped to motivate me to become the physician I am today. As an African-American physician, I aim to provide an excellent healthcare experience to patients of all races, genders and cultural backgrounds. 

Family medicine has been rewarding because I believe it is the ideal area of medicine to make a difference in all stages of life. My goal has always been to listen, teach and provide personalized healthcare to improve the health and wellness of my patients and their families. It is important that I empower my patients to take charge of their health and serve as their coach and supporter as we go through the life long journey together. 

I provide care to patients in Delaware and I am a member of the medical staff at Bayhealth, both Kent and Milford campuses. My practice cares for pediatric, adolescents, adults and geriatric patients. I perform minor office procedures, offer acute care, women’s health, chronic care disease management and assist families with end of life decisions. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. As an osteopathic physician, I continue to use Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy as adjunctive therapy to diagnose, treat and prevent illness and injury. 

As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, my focus is on spending time with patients and developing strong relationships to adapt my care to the unique needs of patients and communities using evidence-based medicine to benefit and promote good health.  I welcome you to become a member of my healthcare family. Let’s work together to make a better you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

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.
