Braces by Barnes staff including both Dr. Barnes were very professional and down to earth at the same time. They made me feel comfortable and confident about my braces. The process was detailed from consultation to every visit. Well worth the review.

MEET THE DOCTORS

DR. ERIC M. BARNES

I love being an orthodontist. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, and the friendships that I’ve built with my patients and their families are one in a million. It has always been my focus to make each patient feel at-home when they come to me for treatment and I work hard to give my patients the attention they deserve.

Education & Experience:

My education in dentistry and orthodontics has provided me with a strong foundation of knowledge and experience. Before becoming an orthodontist, I received the following degrees:

  • Bachelor of Science – Knoxville College

  • Doctor of Dental Surgery – Howard University College of Dentistry

  • Certificate in Orthodontics – Howard University College of Dentistry

Continuing Education:

By regularly participating in continuing education, I am able to stay current on the latest technology and orthodontic treatments. My patients deserve the best, and continuing education allows me to provide them with more options and better results. I am a member of several professional associations that provide me with opportunities for continuing education.

  • American Association of Orthodontists

  • American Dental Association

  • Chicago Dental Society

  • Lincoln Dental Society

  • Chi Delta MU Dental Fraternity

  • Past President, Kenwood/Hyde Park branch of the Chicago Dental Society

Commitment to Community:

I am truly blessed to live and work in such a wonderful community. I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families, and it is always such an honor to know that I have made a difference in so many of my patients’ lives. I couldn’t ask for a better job or for better people sharing their smiles with me. I look forward to working with you.

DR. ASHLEY BARNES

I am so passionate about working closely with people in my community. It excites me to have the ability to change our patients’ smiles and see their confidence soar after they see their new smile. My goal each and every day is to give our patients the best care from the time they enter the practice until the time they leave. I want them to experience personalized care from our office—care that will leave them smiling!

Education & Experience:

  • Bachelor of Science – Marquette University School of Dentistry

  • Doctorate of Dental Surgery – Marquette University School of Dentistry

  • Master’s Degree and Certificate in Orthodontics – Marquette University School of Dentistry

Continuing education is a vital part of any practitioner’s career, especially that of an orthodontist. Continuing education helps me stay current with new technology and evidence-based practice. Since finishing my formal education, I have completed the Charles H. Tweed course and regularly attend the Illinois Society of Orthodontics meetings. I’m also currently enrolled in the two-year McLaughlin program.

Professional Affiliations:

  • Illinois Society of Orthodontics

  • American Association of Orthodontics

  • American Dental Association

  • Chicago Dental Society

Personal Life:

After living in Milwaukee, WI for ten years while completing my schooling, I moved back to my hometown of Chicago to join my father at his orthodontic practice. My family currently consists of me and my Golden-doodle Sophie. Of course, I love working side by side with my dad and having the support of my mom and brother along the way. My hobbies include camping, hiking, watching movies, cooking, and finding the newest restaurants in town.
