About
Dr. Richard Schuster, DO, is an osteopathic physician who practices family medicine, osteopathy, holistic medicine, and osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) at Schuster Family Medicine & Osteopathic Care in Indianapolis, Indiana. He emphasizes a whole‑person approach, believing that health is interconnected across all body systems. Dr. Schuster’s Direct Primary Care (DPC) model allows him to spend ample time with each patient—often an hour for the initial exam—and to be readily available via phone, tele‑health, or same‑day appointments. He focuses on building lasting relationships, listening deeply to patients’ concerns, and addressing the root causes of illness rather than just symptoms.
In his practice, Dr. Schuster combines the principles of osteopathic medicine with modern family medicine to provide personalized, preventive, and comprehensive care. He integrates OMT, lifestyle counseling, and evidence‑based treatments to help patients achieve optimal health and wellness. His commitment to DPC reflects his belief that patients deserve accessible, high‑quality care without the constraints of insurance bureaucracy.
