Yes, because you are directly addressing the doctor by title. Similarly, you would capitalize "professor" in a sentence in which the subject is directly addressing a professor. "Could you help me with this question, Professor?"

∙ 14y agoThe word "doctor" is capitalized when it refers to the doctor's title, e.g., "I have made an appointment with Dr. Jones for this afternoon."
If you are not referring to the specific title, the word "doctor" is not capitalized, e.g., "Please make sure to make an appointment with the doctor," or "Our new neighbor is a doctor."

∙ 13y ago"Doctor" is not capitalized if you are using it as a descriptive term, like "lawyer" or "farmer". "Doctor" should be capitalized only if it is used as a title with someone's name. For example, it is not capitalized in "You should tell the doctor about your new symptoms." It is capitalized in "You should tell Doctor Crenshaw about your new symptoms." Note, however, that when you use "Doctor" as a title with someone's name, the abbreviation "Dr." is usually used.
