Biography

Karen Bowen, DO, is board certified in family medicine and obesity medicine.

With experience working with bariatric surgery patients and more than a decade of experience working with obesity medicine, she believes in individualizing care since every person is different. She listens to each person’s story and collaborates on health goals. By building trusting relationships, she takes time to listen and helps coach each person along their journey.

In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband and three daughters. Her hobbies include hiking, playing tennis, running and walking.

“As a child, I watched my mother battle cancer. This led me on a path to pursue medicine. After six years of practicing family medicine, I had a desire to learn more about obesity medicine. I absolutely love helping patients achieve a healthier version of the themselves.” – Karen Bowen, DO
