Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, or DOs, are fully licensed physicians who practice in all areas of medicine, from family medicine to emergency medicine to surgery. They are the fastest-growing segment of physicians and provide a full range of services, from prescribing drugs to performing surgery, using the latest medical tools.
