the good doctor
Reliable healing professional
A respectful or affectionate way of referring to a physician, often one's own doctor or a doctor being discussed: I'll ask the good doctor about that rash.
The phrase can carry gentle irony or warmth, sometimes used when the doctor's judgment is being invoked as authority.
In media, it's a common title formula suggesting a protagonist physician of notable skill or character.
