you consider a DO on par with a chiropractor? This is so IGNORANT. You really should read up on DO's. I can't believe someone actually believes this. Who misinformed you? [ Reply | More

np: you do realize it doesn't matter (like poster above) the letters after their name but the practioner themselves.
