Addressing Envelopes to Multiple Doctors in One Household: Best Practices

When writing the address on an envelope to two physicians living in the same household, there are a couple of acceptable formats.

Addressing the envelope using full names:

Dr. John Smith

Dr. Jane Doe

123 Main Street

Anytown, CA 12345

Addressing the envelope using a shared title and last name:

Drs. Smith-Doe

123 Main Street

Anytown, CA 12345

Addressing the envelope using a shared title, first name, and last initial:

Drs. John S. and Jane D.

123 Main Street

Anytown, CA 12345

It's important to clearly indicate that both individuals are medical doctors by using the appropriate titles. If there are any additional designations, such as "M.D." or "Ph.D.," they can be included after the names or initials.
