What does DO mean after a doctors name?
The letters D.O. after a doctor’s name means they are osteopathic doctors. Osteopathic doctors and medical doctors receive the same amount of training and must pass the same examinations to become a doctor. Osteopathic doctors focus more on the prevention of illnesses rather than treating symptoms with medication. Demographically, DO’s can be found more in rural and suburban areas than in large cities.
