I would prefer a doctor who looks at the body as a whole not just the symptoms in a certain area. And I think they are less apt to quickly write a prescription for drugs when there may be other treatment options. I've been to a DO who was in an office with MD's. When problems arose with my back, she prescribed therapy when previous MD's I had seen only said here are some pills. The therapy made all the difference in the world. And they are accredited or will be by the same group as MD's by 2015. And all indications are that their training is nearly identical to MD's with the exception that they take additional training regarding osteopathy -
One notable difference in the education at D.O.-granting medical schools is the inclusion of 300 – 500 additional hours in the study of hands-on manual medicine and the body's musculoskeletal system. This training, referred to as osteopathic manipulative medicine,[1] is absent in the M.D. curricula.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Osteopathy

When it comes to Primary Care there is little difference between a DO or an MD. I know that the Primary Care physicians in the area are stoked. LU has done a great job getting the word out and every doctor I've talked to, with rare exception, are impressed with the people staring it up. To say you wouldn't let one treat you if you were sick and calling it 'quackery' is just ignorant.

Does anyone know which "story" is accurate?Actually, I heard that they were going to build 8 stories, but due to soft ground, and fears that the building might sink, they are only going to occupy the first four.
