FORT SMITH - Anne Bowes, DO, is now taking new patients at Baptist Health Women's Clinic-Fort Smith. Dr. 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, Tennessee. She completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Oklahoma State University Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. During that time, Dr. Bowes also spent two years at Baptist Health-Fort Smith, then Sparks Regional Medical Center, as part of her training.

While Dr. Bowes had always been passionate about science and health care, 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.

In her obstetrics practice, Dr. Bowes takes a patient-centered approach to natural childbirth, low medical interventions and vaginal birth after cesarean section.

Dr. Bowes, her husband and young son are excited to return to Fort Smith. In her free time, she enjoys cooking and spending time with her family watching movies and playing games.
