My Comments
Thank you for your deeper explanation of Osteopathic Medicine, and I hope your readers are able to distinguish that the stigma you place on D.O.s in this article is exactly why many are not forthcoming regarding his/her credentials. The fact that Dr. Sophy chose to embellish his role at UCLA should not reflect poorly on the thousands of well-trained and well-qualified physicians that chose to attend osteopathic medical schools. We train for the same number of years and take the same or comparable tests to become fully licensed in any field of medicine, from family medicine to sub-specialties like oncology, transplant surgery, cardiology, radiology, etc.
For more information about D.O.s, I encourage you to educate yourself at www.osteopathic.org
Thank you,
