neurologist who is also DO - Neurology Message Board

Have you ever heard of a DO who is also a neurologist? For some reason I find this a strange combo. He is on my insurance provider list but somehow I am skeptical. I am trying to check him out but can't find anything online. A lot of the dr's are not listed with AMA. I am trying to get info thru the state licenisng board. Your opinions please. Thanks.

Would it be a Dr. of ophthalmology (in depth study and treatment of the eye) and a Neurologist as well?

I had a Neuro-Opthalmologist when I needed a consultant who was had the training to examine the problem I had with a potential with my optic nerve and a tumor entangled in it. They have more training than a neurologist (these that I am talking about)

A DO can go into any field just as an MD however, I would myself never go to one. I'm just more traditional.

this year after my surgery and losing my left eye upper quadrant vision, I saw a DO who was also a neurologist at my hospital, but he focused more on the vision patients then Neuro, so I know where ur coming from. I thought he was great as a DO but never seen him again, and not for neuro purposes. Search around

I believe he is an Osteopath.
