I've never thought about using a DO-pdoc for medication and therapy. Are DO's able to prescribe benzos and other drugs? My current MD-pdoc doesn't do therapy. He makes the big $$$$ by quickly moving his patients in and out, much like a revolving door. That puts steak and lobster on his table, but it doesn't do much to help me. My brother and father (who are both MDs) don't think highly of DO's ... they consider them medical school rejects. However, I will consider this option. Thanks.

> I have been seeing an osteopath weekly for medication AND therapy going on three years now. I like him very much. He seems to know the latest on medications and he's helped me tremendously through our sessions. He is a clinical assistant professor in the psychiatry department at the university here and he is in private practice with 5 or six MDs and PhDs.
