A Different Approach to Primary Care
Traditional primary care can sometimes leave patients feeling rushed, with limited time to discuss everything that matters to their health.
Dr. Barnes takes a different approach.
At Advanced Wellness MD, appointments are designed to give patients the time and attention needed to understand their health more thoroughly. As a patient of our practice, you can expect to spend an average of one hour or longer with your provider per appointment.
This additional time allows Dr. Barnes to:
Listen carefully to your concerns and goals
Review your medical history in detail
Discuss lifestyle and wellness factors
Evaluate relevant health and laboratory data
Identify opportunities for preventive care
Discuss appropriate advanced testing
Create an individualized health plan
Coordinate referrals when specialized care is needed
Monitor progress over time
The objective isn’t simply to address today’s concern. It is to build a clearer picture of your health and develop a plan that can evolve with you.
Dr. Barnes' Areas of Medical Focus
Dr. Barnes provides comprehensive care across several areas of preventive and personalized medicine.
Concierge Primary Care
Concierge primary care provides a more relationship-focused model of healthcare, with extended visits and direct access to your physician.
At Advanced Wellness MD, concierge primary care includes personalized preventive care, routine medical management, ongoing wellness planning, and access to your physician through in-person and virtual visits. The practice also provides direct communication options and specialist referrals when appropriate.
Dr. Barnes works with patients to understand not only what is happening with their health today, but also what they want their health to look like years from now.
Primary Care
As a primary care physician, Dr. Barnes provides care for a broad range of adult health needs.
Her primary care interests include the evaluation and management of conditions such as diabetes and thyroid disorders, along with general health concerns that may arise throughout adulthood.
Her role is not limited to addressing a single condition. Primary care provides an opportunity to bring different aspects of a patient’s health together and coordinate an appropriate plan.
Preventive Medicine
Preventive care focuses on identifying health concerns and risk factors early and helping patients take appropriate steps to protect their health.
Dr. Barnes works with patients on preventive care based on their individual health history, needs, and goals.
This may include routine health assessments, evaluation of risk factors, recommended screening, and discussions about lifestyle and long-term health.
Personalized Medicine
Every patient is different.
Two people can have similar symptoms while having very different underlying health factors, lifestyles, medical histories, or risk profiles.
Dr. Barnes has developed a particular interest in personalized medicine and completed additional training in this area through the University of South Florida in 2024. Her personalized approach may incorporate detailed medical history, laboratory information, lifestyle factors, family history, and—when appropriate—genetic or other advanced testing.
The goal is to help patients better understand their individual health profile and make informed decisions about prevention and wellness.
Advanced Health Testing
Advanced Wellness MD provides access to a range of testing options that can complement traditional healthcare.
Available testing services include:
- Genetic and DNA testing
- Hormone testing
- Blood and urine testing
- Body composition testing
- Gut health testing
- Food sensitivity testing
- Telomere testing
- Early cancer detection testing
The purpose of advanced testing is to provide additional information that may help inform conversations about an individual’s health.
Dr. Barnes can help patients understand which options may be appropriate based on their goals and clinical circumstances.
Weight Management & Nutrition
Healthy weight management requires more than focusing on the number on a scale.
Dr. Barnes works with patients interested in weight loss and nutrition as part of a broader approach to health and wellness. She considers individual goals and relevant health information when developing recommendations.
Advanced Wellness MD also offers body composition testing as part of its broader testing services.
Thyroid & Diabetes Care
Dr. Barnes works with patients seeking care for thyroid and diabetes concerns.
At Advanced Wellness MD, thyroid and diabetes management are a core part of our preventive care approach.
For patients with ongoing conditions, the goal is to understand their health status, review relevant information, and establish an appropriate management plan.
Hormone & Midlife Health
Hormonal changes can affect many aspects of a person’s health and quality of life.
Advanced Wellness MD offers evaluation and treatment options related to hormone health, including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men and women. The practice emphasizes individualized assessment rather than a standardized treatment approach.
Patients considering hormone therapy can discuss their symptoms, medical history, goals, laboratory findings, and potential treatment options with Dr. Barnes to determine whether this approach is appropriate for them.
Executive Health & Performance
For executives, business leaders, and professionals, healthcare needs can be different.
Busy professionals may need a healthcare model that provides greater flexibility, comprehensive assessment, and a proactive focus on long-term performance and health.
Through Advanced Wellness MD’s executive health services, Dr. Barnes works with professionals seeking a more comprehensive approach to:
- Preventive health
- Metabolic health
- Hormonal health
- Stress and lifestyle factors
- Advanced diagnostics
- Long-term health planning
- Performance and wellness
Our executive health approach is focused on identifying factors that may contribute to fatigue, poor sleep, chronic stress, hormonal changes, and metabolic concerns.
Normal doesn’t mean optimal. We look at your lab results, goals, and symptoms to build a plan designed to help you feel your best, for longer.
Physician Who Keeps Learning
Medicine continues to evolve, and Dr. Barnes believes staying current is an important part of providing high-quality care.
She regularly attends medical conferences and pursues additional education in areas that complement her preventive and personalized medicine practice. In 2024, she completed a four-month personalized medicine program through the University of South Florida.
In 2025, she was recognized as one of America’s Top Physicians in Preventative Medicine, an honor that requires completing three times the standard continuing medical education courses.
Her background combines medical training with public health education, giving her a perspective that extends beyond treating individual symptoms to considering prevention, health behavior, population health, and long-term wellness.
Education & Professional Background
Medical Education
Dr. Barnes graduated from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. Her medical education is complemented by an academic background in engineering, which she completed with Summa Cum Laude distinction.
Master of Public Health

Is Dr. Barnes accepting new patients?
Advanced Wellness MD is currently accepting inquiries for its concierge care model. Patients can contact the practice directly to discuss availability, membership, and whether the practice is appropriate for their healthcare needs.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
For a first visit, it can be helpful to bring a current medication and supplement list, relevant medical records, recent laboratory or imaging results, and information about your personal and family medical history. You may also want to bring a list of your current health concerns and goals so there is enough time to discuss what matters most to you.
Can I Visit Advanced Wellness MD if I don't have a specific health problem?
Yes. A preventive or wellness-focused visit does not require you to have an active medical problem. Patients may seek care to establish primary care, review their current health, discuss preventive screening, evaluate health risks, or develop a more proactive plan for maintaining their health.
Are the providers at Advanced Wellness MD a good fit if I want a physician who takes more time to understand my concerns?
Patients looking for a more relationship-based primary care experience will find the concierge model at Advanced Wellness MD a good fit. The practice is designed around personalized provider care rather than brief, high-volume appointments.
Our providers will listen, answer questions, and spend time discussing your concerns.
What happens after my initial physical?
The next steps depend on what you and your provider identify during the visit. This may include routine preventive care, additional laboratory or diagnostic evaluation, lifestyle recommendations, management of an existing condition, or follow-up to review results and adjust your plan.
The objective is to establish a clear path forward based on your individual needs rather than applying the same follow-up process to every patient.
Our Dedicated Team is Kindly Awaiting your call
