David Bowe

So, I am not an overly alarmist parent. I didn’t feel that I needed to get out and interview all of my options for pediatrician before my son was born. I was given a list of recommendations by my OB/​GYN (Anna Daniel
) and made my choice based purely on the guy’s name — David Bowe. What of it??? I didn’t even know how it was pronounced at the time… could have been a total match. I just trusted my doc to give me the names of good doctors and picked the one with the coolest name (it was actually a toss up between him and another guy named Spector). Yes, I’m in fact 12 years old and will remain so for evermore.
At any rate — I am very pleased by the results of my immature and slightly psychic choice. Dr. Bowe (just say bow) is a gentle, caring, humble, incredibly smart, multilingual super hero. His nurse Murielle (she is French so you say Mir-​ray) is equally wonderful (AND SO F’ING ADORABLE). They both put you at ease immediately — as a first time mom, this is KEY.
The mini-​hero is completely chill when he visits their office, probably due to the fact that I am since I know he is in excellent hands. I think he might grow up to resent the French however — given that his first taste of pain was at the gentle, yet needle wielding hands of a tiny French nurse, «Et, voila!» poke! «Et, Voila!» poke again. Ah, well — mama likes her.
