Yes, Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) (this is the correct term) are addressed as Dr. exactly the way a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) would be. That is the correct term of address.

Does a Medical doctor lose his title of doctor if he loses his license?
No. In the U.S. the license to practice medicine is granted independently by each state. The degree "Doctor of Medicine" (M.D.) or "Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine" (D.O.) is granted by a college or university with an accredited medical school. Therefore, if a doctor loses his licence, loses his authorization to practice in that particular state, not his title or degree. The same thing would happen if an nurse lost his/her license. They would no longer be a registered nurse, but they would still have their degree (BSN, MSN, etc.)

A physician is a clinician, but not all clinicians are physicians.

What does 'DO' mean after a doctor's name?
DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathic medicine, which is an alternate degree to MD in the United States. DOs can evaluate patients, prescribe medications, and perform surgery. They can specialize in any medical or surgical specialty.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The dr delaughter do (above) is correct. The U.S. trained DO and MD are treated the same by the USA in prescribing medicines and perform surgery and become specialists. The Delaughter I am certain would also agree that the DO should change it's name to MD,DO (Medical Doctor, Diplomate of Osteopathy). That way, the general dullard banal public would realize that the DO is definitely a Medical Doctor (MD) and the DO following the MD title would emphasize that this MD might know some manipulation of the bones and stuff or at least had been trained in it. Hell, as delaughter must know, most DOs don't even use manipulation anymore, the DO just wanted to go to medical school and it may have gotten into a DO school as a route. Other medical students that do not get into a US MD or DO school, end up going to the Carribean and get an MD degree. Look, with the rise of the DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice), the DO should change it's degree to MD,DO to compete with the DNPs threating to take over primary care.DO after a physician's name stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.

The title "Doctor" is the prerogative of anyone with a doctoral degree. The title was first an academic title, and it remains so. In common usage, physicians are most commonly addressed as doctor, and many people are unaware that qualified non-physicians are entitled to that form of address.
