Dr. Camille Barnes, CVA

Dr. Barnes is an integrative veterinary practitioner, combining Western medical knowledge with the principles and modalities of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine. She is a certified veterinary acupuncturist (CVA) from Chi University, enjoys internal medicine & dermatology cases, and loves expanding her knowledge of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine.

Dr. Barnes was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. She attended Wheaton College in Massachusetts, where she pursued a bachelor’s degree in African Diaspora studies. During her junior year abroad, she traveled the African continent and lived in Morocco for 6 months. While there she studied stray cat populations and also worked at the American Fondouk, a veterinary facility in the country’s capital. Although she loved and cared for animals from a young age, this is where that love blossomed into a true passion for veterinary medicine.

Upon graduating from Wheaton, she attended Mercy University, where she attained her Bachelor's of Science and trained for licensure as a veterinary technician. Her first LVT internship was in laboratory animal medicine, and the second was at the ASPCA, where she met Dr. Sanabria.
