My pdoc is a DO and he is very good. He listens to all of my issues, including those not directly related to bipolar. He even remembers to ask how my family is doing. He aims to have me on the least amount medication needed to stabilize me; we always start with low doses of drugs and increase them as needed. I love him and would highly recommend him.

However, no two DOs are the same, just as no two MDs are the same. Your new pdoc may be very different, but I hope that he is just as good as mine.

As a side note: I am a premed student and I want to go to a DO school! I love the philosophy of treating the whole patient.
