George Clooney in ER

Let’s all take a minute of silence to appreciate the dreamboat doctor that is ER’s Douglas Ross. Breaking hearts since 1994, who could ever forget George Clooney’s signature smoulder and bulging biceps in those sexy blue scrubs?

Nurse Trixie Franklin, Call The Midwife - Helen George

Blonde bombshell Nurse Trixie Franklin has clearly sent pulses racing on the BBC’s hit TV show, Call The Midwife. Taking second place, the ever-glamorous Trixie is often revered for her swinging sixties style, which features fully-fashioned nylons, fitted silhouettes and ravishing red lipstick.  

Dr Connie Beauchamp, Casualty - Amanda Mealing

Amanda Mealing played Dr Connie Beauchamp on Casualty

Casualty’s Dr Connie Beauchamp is one powerful woman. Without a doubt one of the show’s biggest scene-stealers, Connie’s ability to silence a room with her iconic death stare remains unparalleled. A force to be reckoned with, Amanda Mealing’s stellar portrayal of the determined doctor continues to reign supreme.

Hugh Laurie stars as Dr Gregory House

With his quick-wit and hilarious one-liners, we definitely have a crush on Dr Gregory House. With his unrivalled confidence and his gentlemanly attire, we can’t help but swoon over the brooding medic - who doesn’t love a bad boy with a dark side?

 Dr Martin Ellingham, Doc Martin - Martin Clunes

Martin Clunes stars as Doc Martin on the hit ITV show

Doc Martin is that guy who’s weirdly hot - you can’t quite put your finger on it, but there’s just something about him. Tightly-wound and buttoned up, Martin plays hard to get with everyone he meets. Whether he’s dismissing a mildly irritating patient or struggling to reveal his true feelings to the lovely Louisa, we can’t help but fall in love with the emotionally-stunted GP.

Dr John Carter, ER - Noah Wyle

Noah Wyle plays Dr John Carter

Adorably awkward and comically clumsy, Dr John Carter is definitely on our lists. The man saved a little boy from a storm drain while wearing a tuxedo - what more could you want?

 McDreamy, Grey’s Anatomy - Patrick Dempsey

Patrick Dempsey's character on Grey's Anatomy was nicknamed McDreamy

Oh Mr McDreamy, how we’ve missed you. The definition of tall, dark and handsome, Patrick Dempsey was without a doubt one of the dishiest doctors on Grey’s Anatomy. Flashing those baby blues at his patients whilst making medical lingo sound effortlessly sexy, we have no idea how anyone got any work done with McDreamy on-call…seriously, it’s not possible.

Charlie Fairhead, Casualty - Derek Thompson

Derek Thompson has starred on Casualty for over 30 years

The longest-serving character on Casualty, for over 30 years we’ve been watching Charlie Fairhead. The beating heart of the emergency department, Charlie is the ultimate hero, literally diving into dangerous waters to save the lives of those he loves.

Dr Zara Carmichael, Doctors - Elizabeth Dermot Walsh

Elizabeth Dermot Walsh as Doctor Zara Carmichael

The villain we all loved to hate, it’s safe to say that Dr Zara Carmichael has a somewhat volatile personality. Oozing sex appeal, no one will ever forget the iconic scene with the washing machine...

Dr Abby Lockhart, ER - Maura Tierney

Played by the gorgeous Maura Tierney, fan-favourite Dr Abby Lockhart’s ten-year stint on ER earned her major Emmy-recognition.

The Doctors who were overlooked 

In appreciation of all the hot TV doctors who have graced our screens, we couldn’t help but reflect on all of the majorly dishy medics who were overlooked...

Dr Turner, Call The Midwife - Stephen McGann

One half of the iconic duo that is Shelagh and Patrick, we knew that it was love at first sight when Call The Midwife first introduced audiences to Dr Turner.

Dr Chase, House - Jesse Spencer

Sorry, Dr Chase, we didn’t quite catch that - could you repeat the whole thing again in your sexy Australian accent, please? Thank god this doctor only exists in fiction because if he was real, we’d never get anything done. You can go to the doctors for a paper cut, right?

Dr Alex -  Love Island

Dr Alex is far too good for this world. Appearing on season 4 of Love Island, the A&E doctor won viewers over with his sensitive side and chilled approach to life in the villa. The kind of guy we’d all bring home to meet the parents, we’re a little bit in love with Dr Alex...

Dr Ranj Singh - Strictly Come Dancing

Since competing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, we’ve got a lot of time for this debonair doctor.

Dr Max Goodwin, New Amsterdam - Ryan Eggold

We’d like to thank New Amsterdam for bringing us Dr Max Goodwin - scrubs never looked so good. 

Dr Elliot Reid, Scrubs - Sarah Chalke

Sacred Heart’s resident glam girl, Dr Elliot Reid was the definition of goals. Revealing in season 3 that she gets up at 5am every morning to do her hair and makeup, it’s no surprise that the blonde beauty always looked divine. 

Dr Jackson Avery, Grey’s Anatomy - Jesse Williams

Two words: Jesse Williams. That is all...

Dr Danny Castellano, The Mindy Project - Chris Messina

We couldn’t get enough of Dr Danny’s love-hate relationship with Dr Mindy in The Mindy Project. Witty and sarcastic, this dreamy doctor makes for a modern-day Mr Darcy, and we’re here for it.
