What is a D.O.?
D.O. is the abbreviation for Doctor of Osteopathy. Like their allopathic (M.D.) colleagues, D.O.s are fully licensed physicians that have completed 4 years of medical school and at least 3 years of residency. As of July 1, 2020, D.O. and M.D. physician residency programs are even overseen by the same accreditation body.
Traditionally, osteopathy trains physicians to consider the whole person rather than just addressing symptoms. However, in today’s world any well trained physician is taught this importance. Practically speaking, the in depth musculoskeletal training Dr. Keller received in addition to a holistic approach to health and wellness, provides her with the expertise needed to offer treatment and prevention plans to her patients that go beyond medication alone. Through manual manipulation (OMT), common aches and pains can often be addressed without the need of long term medication or pharmaceuticals at all!
