Anne Bowes, DO, is now taking new patients at Baptist Health Women’s Clinic-Fort Smith. Bowes provides prenatal and postpartum care, as well as general wellness exams and surgical procedures for women of all ages. She also specializes in women’s sexual health and wellness, along with hormone therapy.
The Oklahoma City native earned a medical degree from Lincoln Memorial University – DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine in Harrogate, Tenn. She completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Oklahoma State University Medical Center in Tulsa. During that time, Bowes also spent two years at Baptist Health-Fort Smith, then Sparks Regional Medical Center, as part of her training.
While Bowes had always been passionate about science and healthcare, it wasn’t until later in life and after she became a mother that she decided to pursue an education to become an obstetrician and gynecologist.
“The relationship I had throughout my pregnancy with my physician was phenomenal and now I get to have those same kinds of relationships with my patients and be a part of one of the best days of their lives,” Bowes said.
In her obstetrics practice, Bowes takes a patient-centered approach to natural childbirth, low medical interventions, and vaginal birth after cesarean section.
