DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathy. They are real doctors, licensed in all states the same as Medical Doctors, although they attend different medical schools. Some states do not even discriminate, licensing both as "physicians."

There are a number of Doctor of Osteopathy's who are indeed surgeons as well as work office calls for family medicine.
