Dr. Robert J. Bowes, M.D.

*GRWH welcomes Dr. Bowes as the newest addition to our staff. He will begin seeing patients in April 2010.

Dr. Bowes attended undergraduate school at the University of Michigan. He graduated from Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, MI, receiving his Medical degree.

Dr. Bowes completed residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2006. His training included postdoctoral rotations at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center New York, NY, as well as the Alaska Native American Health Services Hospital, Anchorage, AK.

He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a member of Norman F. Miller Gynecologic Society. Dr. Bowes has received honors and awards including Eagle Scout, BSA, the University of Michigan Nurse Midwifery Service Consultant Award and the AAGL award for Special Excellence in Endoscopic Procedures as a resident. He has completed training for daVinci Robotic Surgery-Intuitive Surgical and has a special interest in minimally invasive surgery.

Dr. Bowes became an obstetrician because he appreciates the opportunity to develop a long term relationship with his patients over the course of their pregnancies. He was also drawn to OBGYN because he is able to take care of a patient over the course of her life, from childbearing years through menopause and beyond. The field allows him to practice primary care, obstetrics and surgery in the care of women.

With the move to West Michigan, Dr. Bowes is looking forward to being near his family and friends. As well as raising his children in a stable supportive community with a rich culture and high quality of life.

When Dr. Bowes is not working he enjoys spending time with his wife and 3 children, reading, cycling,  woodworking, piano playing and gardening.
