Closing out National DO Week, @thisgirltosin tells us what being a DO means to her: “Choosing Family Medicine was personal and driven by one of my favorite mottos: “Prevention is better than cure.”  As an osteopathic physician in Family Med, I’m trained to see people as whole humans, not just symptoms on a chart. That means I look at lifestyle, environment, emotional and physical health together to get the full picture. I believe in partnering with my patients—so they’re not just being treated, they’re involved in their care. Prevention, wellness, and long-term quality of life are always the goal. And with additional training in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMT), I can offer hands-on, non-invasive treatment—especially helpful for things like musculoskeletal pain. It’s care that’s personal, holistic, and built on trust.”
