Dr. Barnes was born in Macon, Georgia and following an undergraduate B.S. degree from Virginia Polytechnical Institue & State University, he graduated from the Medical College of Georgia in June 1979. Subsequently, he went on to serve an Orthopaedic Surgery Internship and Residency at Greenville Hospital System in 1980 and 1984 respectively.

As an orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Barnes’ work is dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. The frequency and impact of these diseases and injuries, combined with recent advances in their diagnoses and treatment, make orthopaedics a critical part of healthcare. It brings him great pleasure to apply state-of-the-art, proven procedures to alleviate pain and suffering and restore a patient to a more productive life.

In addition to his extensive medical commitments, I enjoy working on my ranch with my horses and cows. Dr. Barnes is an accomplished horseman and compete in ranch roping competitions.
