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

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.

Testimonials from patients of Robert C. Barnes, DO

Thank You Dr. Barnes for doing you best

from Fabiola in MI • March 1, 2018
Quite some years ago, I worked at POH, what is now McLaren Hospital.
On my way in, early one morning, I decided to stop in the ER because I did not feel well. My cold was getting worse. The physician there, prescribed Levaquin, although I kept telling him that Zithromax worked just fine. I was very familiar with this medicine through reading Medical Records. I was a coder. I never liked Read more...

Dr. Barnes is competent and caring.

from Bernard • April 1, 2017
Dr. Barnes is competent and caring. He goes out of his way to help his patients. As an example, I had extreme dizziness one morning. I called him and his schedule was such that he actually paid me a house visit! I can't remember anyone saying that their doctor did that for them. I can always count on him to offer sage advice. My wife and I feel lucky to have him as our physician.

I feel fortunate to have Dr. Barnes as my physician.

from Dianne in MI • March 1, 2018
Dr. Barnes is truly a caring physician. He is thorough and expresses himself well. There has never been an instance when I couldn't communicate with him either personally or via his nurse. He is adept at offering solutions and he definitely gets to the bottom of a problem and is expedient in communicating. I feel fortunate to have Dr. Barnes as my physician.

Dr. Barnes and his warm, caring staff.

from Ruth and Shih-Chen • April 1, 2017
After our dear family doctor of over 25 years retired, we thought we'd never find another like him. Thankfully, we were wrong. All the clichés about patient centered medicine are no longer clichés. Dr. Barnes and his team have given us wonderful care; from timely coordination with specialists and thorough attention to detail, to follow up phone calls and prompt but relaxed office visits Read more...

His approach to medicine is a bit different than my previous doctor and it has impressed me.

from Karl in MI • March 1, 2018
With the retirement of Dr. Mike Baker, Dr. Barnes has taken over my MDVIP care.
I have been very pleasantly surprised with the great care he has taken to get to know me so that he can treat me with the most personalized care possible.
His approach to medicine is a bit different than my previous doctor and it has impressed me. He listens intently while I describe my issues and takes Read more...
