What is an Osteopath or D.O?
Osteopaths or Doctors of Osteopathy (D.O.s), like M.D.s, are fully qualified physicians licensed to perform surgery and prescribe medications in all 50 states. D.O.s comprise a separate, yet equal branch of American and international medical care. Together, D.O.s and M.D.s enhance the state of care available worldwide. D.O.s and M.D.s are alike in many ways.
