Question:
What's the difference between a D.O. and M.D.?
Is there any advantage to seeing one over another? Any difference in the amount of education?
Answers:
A D.O. is 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. An M.D. is Medical Doctor.
