He replaced Robert Gorab, MD, who held the position for more than a decade, according to a Jan. 14 news release. Dr. Barnett will oversee Hoag's clinical quality and annual outcomes reporting process, and lead the medical staff.

"His passion for high quality surgical care, clinical accountability and transparency in reporting clinical outcomes is a commitment I will work tirelessly to honor and uphold."

Dr. Barnett received his medical degree at Boston University School of Medicine, where he was a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, a medical honor society.
