fairymommy Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Just curious because I think it means doctor of obstetrics but why wouldn't the doctor have M.D. after his/her name instead?:rolleyes: Thanks! fairymommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraL in OK Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Doctor of Osteopathy, I think. It's a different type of medicine, somewhat more holistic but still very plugged in to the standard medical system (hospitals, insurance, etc.). My ob-gyn was a D.O., and she was great.

Liz CA Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Doctor of Osteopathy, I think. It's a different type of medicine, somewhat more holistic but still very plugged in to the standard medical system (hospitals, insurance, etc.). My ob-gyn was a D.O., and she was great. because of their openness to and inclusion of natural approaches whenever it's effective and beneficial.

Mrs. Readsalot Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I found this on the internet D.O. - Doctor of Osteopathy. Very similar to an M.D. Osteopaths generally get the same residency training as M.D. physicians. Their medical schools include additional training in physical manipulation techniques somewhat similar to chiropractic. My family doctor is one and because of that he was able to relocate my dislocated rib. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollie010 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 We love our DO. He is kind of like a really good chiropractor, but he has hospital privileges and can write prescriptions. His training incuding basicmedical training, but he is very informed on holistic and nutritional approaches. FOr us we get the best of both worlds with a DO.
