Dr. Barnes has particular clinical interests in the detailed evaluation and management of concussions as well as regenerative musculoskeletal medicine.
The original inspiration for Dr. Barnes becoming a physician was a result of his older brother requiring knee surgery. On the day of the surgery, the anesthesiologist was kind enough to show him some of the equipment used for the procedure as well as medication. Since that day he knew what he wanted to do with his life.
