David L. Barnes, MD

Meet 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.

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.

When I was attending graduate school at N.L.U. in Monroe, I became ill. I called my mama in my hometown of Newellton to know what to do. She told me that someone from Newellton had just opened a medical practice in West Monroe and that I should see him. It was Dr. David Barnes.
