​
Prior to coming to Florida, Dr. Barna spent nearly 10 years at Harvard Medical School including roles as Assistant Professor of Medicine and Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, as well as Medical Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Pain Center.   He previously served as Assistant Professor of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine at University of South Florida College of Medicine.  Dr. Barna also previously served as an Interventional Spine and Pain Physician, as well as Partner at Florida Orthopaedic Institute, the largest multi-specialty Orthopedic group in the state of Florida.  He currently serves as an Interventional Pain Physician at Neurosurgical Partners in Tampa and Sarasota, Florida.

"I have known and worked with Dr. Barna as an expert for several years.  Dr. Barna combines the rare qualities of intellectual brilliance, gifted healer, professional passion and patient compassion.  He is an excellent communicator and has a great rapport with, most importantly, injured people.  
 
His service as a Life Care Planner is extremely effective due to the above character traits and also the following:  (1) he is a licensed medical doctor; (2) he has received the highest level of Life Care Planner certification and (3) he continues to have an active clinical practice.  In other words, it would be difficult, if not impossible, for his expert testimony to be disqualified and he is a very persuasive patient advocate.  I highly endorse Dr. Barna."
