Pulat Pulatov, D.O.

My interest in medicine began at an early age when I would accompany my mother to her doctors’ appointments. I was fascinated by the doctors’ empathy and professionalism toward my mother, as well as the care that they provided. I was inspired to do the same. When I learned that doctors actually help cure people from illness, my desire to pursue a career in medicine was solidified.

I chose to specialize in family medicine because it allows me to treat the whole body. Also, I like that it focuses on preventive medicine, which I truly believe can change people’s lives for the better.

My patients range from healthy individuals who need routine checkups to people with chronic illness. I am trained in several, standard outpatient procedures including splinting, earwax removal via irrigation, and Pap tests.

I make sure that my patients are heard during their visits with me. I spend as much time with them as needed to get to know their complete medical history and discuss their current concerns and needs. I am empathic, and I enjoy teaching my patients ways to improve their health. My treatment philosophy is “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

I am a member of the American Osteopathic Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians.
