Welcome to the Upper East Side Osteopathy section where we list all osteopaths in 10022, 10065, 10021, 10075, 10028 and 10128 zip codes. An osteopath is a physician who was trained in the field of "osteopathic medicine." A "Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine" has "DO" after his or her name. Like an "MD," an osteopath is a fully trained and licensed physician. DOs and MDs are considered equal, legally, and in terms of their authority to diagnose and treat various health conditions, prescribe medications, and perform surgery. The difference between an MD and a DO is in the approach of the medical education. Osteopathic medicine emphasizes the whole person, and the connection between the musculoskeletal system and disease and symptoms.
