Anthony Barnett, M.D.

Anthony Barnett, M.D.Dr. Barnett, M.D. grew up in Oakland, California, and studied history and Russian language, working as a social worker with Russian refugees before deciding to become a doctor. An interest in science and a desire to be able to help people in immediate and tangible ways led him to change career paths and attend medical school.

Dr. Barnett completed his internship and residency in family medicine at Swedish Medical Center. During his final year in residency, he helped prepare a health care needs assessment for Nakhodka, Russia (Oakland’s sister city).

Dr. Barnett is excited to be helping lead the way back to more traditional and holistic medicine by providing house calls with Carena. "I went to medical school because I enjoy caring for people and teaching them about their health. That’s hard to do under the pressures of the health care system and I’m excited to be working in an environment where that’s once again possible." Outside of travel and medicine, his interests include photography, movies, and cooking. He lives with his wife and daughter in Seattle.

    I was at home caring for my infant son when I cut my hand while washing dishes. The Carena doctor was excellent, suturing my hand and saving me a trip to the ER with a crying baby.

    My 3-year-old son was seen by Carena because I was too sick to take him to an urgent care facility. His PCP and her colleagues were also fully booked that day. The Carena doctor was extremely knowledgeable and he took his time explaining everything to us. This service is absolutely great! It was better than I ever expected.

    I appreciated the house call because it was difficult for me to move due to my back pain. The Carena doctor was kind and easy to communicate with. His advice helped to ease fears of serious injury. My pain was severe, but medication helped ease my pain so that I could move around a bit easier.

    My toddler had a significant fever for four days and we were snowed in. The house call made such a difference. My son is responding to the prescription and is eating and drinking again. The Carena doctor was great and even walked three blocks in the snow to reach us. Thanks!

    I can’t stop raving about Carena’s house call! In addition to diagnosing my pneumonia and writing a prescription for medication, the Carena doctor also evaluated a potentially cancerous growth on my face and gave me advice on next steps.

    Our 2-year-old daughter fell and split her chin open on Saturday when our doctor’s office was closed. I wasn't sure if it would need stitches or not. The Carena doctor was great, and we really appreciated having care in the home!

    This was such a helpful service! I just relocated two days ago and had not identified a PCP yet. It was great to get the health attention when I knew nobody else was around. Thank you!

    I could not wait a week to see my doctor. That was the next open appointment. This service prevented an unnecessary and costly trip to the ER but also prevented me from getting worse while waiting to see my doctor.

    Carena is invaluable. Our 16-month-old son dislocated his elbow and the Carena doctor was able to manipulate the bone back into place. Had he not been able to make this house call we would have had to have taken the baby to the ER. The physician was amazing, kind, and capable. We are so grateful for this service—and impressed by the skill of the physician. Thanks!

    This is a great service! I truly appreciated the doctor coming to my house as I had a fever and horrible cough. I was sick and contagious and didn't feel like going anywhere, especially an ER that would have had a long wait time.

    One of the best doctors I have come across during my seven years in the US. The doctor did a detailed diagnosis, answered all questions and concerns, educated us about the problem, examined and performed tests meticulously, and made me feel comfortable. My husband was very happy, too. Amazing doctor. Five stars.

    This is what medical care should be.

    This doctor probably saved my son's life. He diagnosed a tricky case of appendicitis; otherwise I would not have taken my son to the hospital until the next day.
