My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
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!

Also I tryed to get a MRI. Unfortunately I was so clostroymadic, I could take it. Dr. found me a place to get an MRI only 2 days away that I… See more
Over 18 years I traveled for my job. Made it a habit over those years to always move my legs and ankles every flight, and walked through many small and large airports. After retirement I still traveled as my youngest son lived out west. In February, 2021 I flew a 3 segment flight to California and back. Several weeks had passed since that flight, and I noticed having difficulty with shortness… See more
Doctor Barnes is a Doctor that really cares for his patients. His laughter gives you a feeling of comfort and ease. His staff make you feel the same way. It's a pleasure to have him take care of your medical needs.

I have several complicating medical issues, all of which he has helped me control. I have had diabetes for 20 years and have not have any complications because he has helped me understand and control my… See more
I have been a patient of Dr. Barnes of Milford Delaware for about 18+ years. He was the FIRST Doctor who ever listened to me about my headaches. I am now 58 years old. I started getting horrible headaches when I was a Freshman in high school. I was in an advanced program at a statewide school. The pressure was enormous to be succeed and thrive. I began with the worst headaches I had ever… See more

I met Dr. Cedric Barnes over 20 years ago when I relocated and had to choose a new primary care physician. I cannot tell you how fortunate I was in making the choice to join his practice so long ago. Over the years he has been our family physician and has provided care for not only me, but my parents, my son, my granddaughter and thankfully, my husband as well. Transitioning our entire… See more
Dr. Barnes been my doctor since 2007, that's the length of time I've lived in Delaware. He's a great doctor and is very concerned about my health. When he switched over to MDVIP, I scared I was going to have to change doctors. Thank God I didn't have to. I don't look at Dr. Barnes as being just a doctor, he's also a friend.
I have so appreciated my relationship with Dr. Cedric Barnes. He listens to me, is supportive and provides quality care. He has taken care of me for 17 years. The switch to MDVIP has only improved his practice and enhanced the relationship. Can't imagine having any other doctor!
