A Doctor of Osteopathy attends medical school and accomplishes medical training in internship and residency training programs (our clinic doctors have attended special medical training in pediatric medicine) after graduation from medical school. They also attend additional medical training in osteopathic medicine (alignment of the spine, muscles, and skeleton to maintain health). Doctors of Allopathic Medicine (MD) attend medical school and accomplishes additional medical training in internship and residency training programs. Both DOs and MDs pass licensing tests to practice medicine. All of our clinic doctors are also Board Certified in Pediatric Medicine.
