Culture & Mission Statement

At Barnett Dermatology, we’re building something intentionally different. Founded by women, for women, our practice culture is rooted in real-life values: balance, support, joy, and integrity.

We believe a medical career should enhance your life—not consume it. Here’s what defines who we are and how we work:

1. Empower Women to Thrive

We were founded to create a space where women can succeed both professionally and personally.

  • Our mission began with ensuring that Dr. Barnett could work full-time and still be happy as a wife and mother.

  • We remain committed to that principle: helping women enjoy fulfilling careers while nurturing their families and themselves.

  • We understand the real challenges of being a working mom, partner, or student—and we support each other through them.

2. Prioritize People Over Volume

We don’t believe in “grinder” culture.

  • Unlike high-volume healthcare models that focus on numbers, we prioritize a sustainable pace and a positive, respectful atmosphere.

  • We actively avoid burnout by focusing on quality of care, not patient quotas.

  • Staff happiness, well-being, and teamwork are more important to us than maximizing throughput.

3. Foster Connection and Camaraderie

We’re intentional about building a collegial and supportive work environment.

  • Camaraderie and kindness are daily priorities.

  • We treat one another with respect and compassion, and we genuinely care about each other’s success.

  • The practice is driven by personal values and relationships, not corporate mandates.

4. Celebrate Growth, Not Just Retention

We take pride in being a place where people grow—and sometimes outgrow.

  • When a staff member leaves for further education or a new opportunity, we celebrate them.

  • Our success is measured not only by who stays, but by the lives we enrich along the way.

5. Keep Patients at the Center

We are unwavering in our commitment to patient satisfaction.

  • Patients should feel heard, respected, and cared for—never rushed.

  • We avoid long wait times and strive to create positive, meaningful interactions at every visit.

  • A happy, supported team leads to better patient experiences—and that’s our top priority.

6. Hire for Culture, Not Just Skill

We’re thoughtful about who joins our team.

  • The right candidate values work-life balance, mutual support, and meaningful patient care.

  • Those seeking a corporate, high-volume model likely won’t thrive here—and that’s okay.

  • Our interview process is mutual: candidates spend time in the practice to see if the culture feels like home.

In essence:
Barnett Dermatology is a community built around balance, support, and purpose. We are a practice where women—and everyone—can build rewarding careers without sacrificing the rest of their lives. We prioritize people over volume, celebrate growth, and care deeply for both our team and our patients.
