    I have been seeing Dr Barnes as my Primary Care Physician for several decades. I trust his judgement. I have no issues with Dr Barnes. Dr Barnes is the reason that I use Optum. If Dr Barnes was not at Optum, I am not sure that I would use Optum.

    I have been a patient of Dr Edward Barnes for over 30 years. I have found him to be an excellent diagnostician. He is highly focused in his observations of my general aspect and presentation. He has had a high success rate in evaluating my symptoms and prescribing appropriate remedies to any problems I have faced. On occasion when symptoms have leaned toward a more complex diagnosis, he has referred me to specialists in his professional network. Dr Barne’s calm approach has supported my confidence in making choices that have maintained my good health.

    Dr. Barnes is a wonderful doctor who explains his diagnoses in a manner that is understandable by a layman. His diagnoses are spot-on, his manner is great and he does not constantly look at the computer and type while the patient is trying to speak with him, as many physicians do. I appreciate that very much.
