Siegel, Martin S, MD Poly Clinic

As an MD myself, I hope I can tell when I have met an outstanding doctor. I believe that David Bowe is an excellent pediatrician and I have been 100% happy with the care he has given my 2 girls. I recommend him very highly. The only reservation I have is that his clinic is very busy (a mark of their popularity, I guess) and it can sometimes be difficult to get an appointment as soon as you might like. David Bowe is a 5-star pediatrician, but the accessibility issue loses him 1 star. more

Dr. Bowe was on a list of Peds offered by my OB and I Interviewed Dr. Bowe when I was still pregnant because I wanted to get a sense of who might be caring for my child. I liked him immediately. He was unpretentious, humble and clearly passionate about children. He also wasnt the least bit threatened by the fact that my dad was also a Pediatrician and may be weighing in on my son's healthcare - in fact, he was pleased that I had extra resources available to me and another pair of trained eyes to evaluate medical opinions. My experience with his care of my child over the past three years has buoyed my initial impressions - my son likes him immensely and he has continued to be gentle, thoughtful, unhurried and consistent in his care. I couldnt recommend him more highly. more

As new parents, we took our time in finding a good pediatrician by interviewing doctors when I was pregnant. Dr. Bowe struck us as relaxed and kind, unhurried. After having our daughter, we realized how right-on our decision was visit after visit. Murielle, the nurse, is quick and gentle in administering the wicked but necessary shots, and Dr. Bowe always takes the time to answer our questions. more

My 2 children see Dr. Spector as their pediatrician. We've been there for over 4 years and he's fantastic with the kids. He addresses my concerns and makes sure they are growing right on track. When my daughter was failing to gain weight, Dr. Spector was very proactive in helping us figure out what could be done to assist her with gaining weight. He has a very good reputation and is a fine, fine doctor. In addition, we love Dr. Spector's nurses! My only complaint about Dr. Spector is his off-color sense of humor. I have found on many occasions that he just says things that make me and my husband uncomfortable. We ignore it, as he is a really really good doctor, but you may find some of his remarks offensive. more

My wife and I chose Dr. Bowe on the strength of Peter S.'s Judy's Book recommendation, and we're so glad we did. As anyone who'd been a first-time parent knows, infants are full of little health surprises, most of which are routine once you know what's going on, but scary for a first-timer. Not only is Dr. Bowe a great doc - just as Peter described - his office makes the whole process of infant health care an almost-pleasant experience. Whenever we call the office, we get informed and helpful advice over the phone - not just a promise to call back later. And whenever it sounds like we need to bring our son in on short notice, they've been great about making room on the schedule - often that same day. We haven't worked with other pediatricians, and this is our first child, so we don't have much data to compare by, but our experience with Dr. Bowe and his office has exceeded our expectations. more

David Bowe was not our original pediatrician. But the orginial doctor we chose was not at the hostpital when our son was born, and we were given Dr. Bowe instead. We liked him so much those first few days of our child's life that we decided to stick with him - and we have never regretted that decision. Our son has been through a number of normal (though frieghtening) illnesses since birth, and Dr. Bowe guided us through each of them with terriffic knowledge and bedside manner. He is young but very knowledgable, not overly alarmist, and just seems like a great guy who we feel comfortable entrusting with our baby's health. We feel good about our decision, and I would recommend him to anyone. more
