This is being discussed on another group I am a member of. I saw a wonderful D.O. from my 30's into my 60's...primarily for back support...But he was the doctor that FINALLY got my thyroid supported...no labs and just a call to the pharmacy to start on desiccated thyroid. I had been working for 10 yrs to get help but numbers kept telling the other doctors I'm OK. This great D.O. knew differently. The man worked PT into his 90's...I miss him, he helped me so much.

My daughter and I are both considering a D.O. that's been recommended to her recently as she has a tendon foot issue and needs to get other opinions than just a surgeon.
