This entry needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality.
Improvements needed: This article has recently been split into Doctor (title), so its Appearances section may be incorrect. Its appearances also do not line up with the information in the article, as the article body lacks content about Cursed Child or Hogwarts Mystery, for example.
See How to Edit for help, or this entry's talk page.

"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"

The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.

"Doctors? Those Muggle nutters who cut people up?"
— Ron Weasley's view on doctors[src]

A doctor, also known as a Muggle healer by wizards,[1] was a Muggle profession dedicated to treating injuries and illnesses, and in maintaining human health, similar to Healers in the wizarding world.[2]

History[]

Many wizards and witches considered the methods used by Muggle doctors to be primitive, but some, such as Arthur Weasley and Augustus Pye, showed interest in their techniques.[3]

When Albus Dumbledore first met Tom Riddle at Wool's Orphanage to tell him about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Tom originally believed Dumbledore to be a doctor, specifically from some sort of psychiatric hospital, sent by Mrs Cole to take him away.[4]

A team of doctors examined the bodies of the slain Riddle family following their death by the Killing Curse at the hands of a teenage Tom Riddle, but were unable to explain what had happened as the curse left no visible mark, nor any other evidence that could provide an explanation to a Muggle physician.[5]

A dentist was a form of doctor that specialised in oral health care. Hermione Granger's mother and father were both dentists.[6]
