Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am on Medicare, and my primary care physician just retired. Not many places are taking new patients these days, especially on Medicare. Given the choice, should I look for an M.D. (medical doctor) or a D.O. (doctor of osteopathy)? -- T.C.
