Dr. Rosa Barnes has proudly been serving the Mt. Pleasant and Charleston communities since 2017!

Dr. Rosa was born and raised in Southeastern Wisconsin.  She received her bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences from Marquette University and continued on  to obtain her Doctor of Dental Surgery while graduating Summa Cum Laude. Following her experiences at Marquette University School of Dentistry, her desire to work with children led her to pursue and complete her pediatric residency at the University of Florida.

She enjoys taking the time to establish lasting and trusting relationships with each one of her patients. She takes great pride in helping to put an anxious child at ease and working to make their dental experience a positive and fun one! Dr. Rosa specializes in comprehensive dental prevention and treatment of children from birth to adulthood, as well as the care of special needs patients.

Dr. Rosa is a Past President of the South Carolina Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, a Board member of East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO), and Associate Clinical Professor in Pediatric Dentistry at MUSC.

Dr. Rosa and her husband reside in Mount Pleasant. They enjoy spending time and traveling with their young daughter. Their Irish doodle (Doolin) is an avid boating fan and their feisty orange tabby cat (Topo) likes showing Doolin who’s boss.
