Thank you, Dr. Barnes. You are not just my Physician; you have worn many hats - my counselor, cheerleader, comforter.

For the first time in my long life, I have found a physician that I am finally comfortable with in sharing details about how I feel inside and out. Dr. Barnes has helped me to become more aware of my own decisions about my health and have learned that physical and mental health, for me, are entangled. I am a widow and wish to be as healthy as I can be so that I can live an independent life for many years. Dr. Barnes has always rooted for me, which encourages me to do better for my next visit. I am very healthy and don't have to make appointments often but when I do, I am always comforted and encouraged by Dr. Barnes. Although Dr. Barnes exudes professionalism, his sincere mannerisms and ability to breakdown lab results in a clear and simple language for me, his patient, is a gift that is not present with many Physicians and I hope to have Dr. Barnes as my Physician for years to come. Thank you, Dr. Barnes. You are not just my Physician; you have worn many hats - my counselor, cheerleader, comforter and I also feel humbled to call you ,my friend.
