Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine

Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) see patients, prescribe medications, perform surgeries, and deliver babies in hospitals, medical centers, and offices across the United States and overseas. Whether they are primary care providers or specialists, DOs use all the standard tools of modern medicine, but also have additional therapeutic modalities with which to care for their patients. Our students thrive in a culture of patient-focused care because they practice on a foundation of professionalism, benevolence, and respect. They understand that while they practice the art of medicine with their heads, they must never forget to use their hearts.

    “No one looks out for our class like Krystle does. She is constantly providing resources, giving reminders, and setting an example of positivity and kindness. If there is anything to clean up or organize, Krystle is there with open arms ready to help. Not because she is responsible for any of it, but out of the kindness of her heart. We are lucky to have her in our class and her future patients will be lucky to have her as their doctor.鈥� 鈥淜rystle is always lending a helping hand to everyone here at COMPNW.
