For male doctors:

* Dr. [Last name]

* [Full name], MD

* [First name] MD

For female doctors:

* Dr. [Last name]

* [First name] MD

Additional notes:

* If you are unsure of the doctor's gender, you can use "Dr. [Last name]" or "MD" to be safe.

* If you are writing to a doctor in a formal setting, such as a letter or email, you should use their full name and title.

* In some cases, doctors may have a preferred title, such as "Dr. Smith" or "Dr. Jane Smith." If you know the doctor's preferred title, you should use that.
