Doctor (Dr.)
No. Medical doctors in the USA (e.g. physicians) receive the professional training degree of MD or OD (Osteopathic Doctor). In contrast, a PhD is a higher academic degree based on philosophy, or research. A PhD does not prescribe medicine. A medical doctor may have a PhD, especially those that perform medical research, but most do not. If an individual has both an MD and a PhD they would list them in that order after their name (PhD listed last as it is the highest degree). A medical doctor holds a Doctor of Medicine diploma. Both Ph.D. and MD are doctorate degrees, so they're equal.
Yes
That will vary. If you have a PHD in physical therapy then it will be so. If you have a PHD in anything then your title will be doctor.
Doctor of Philosophy, abbreviated Ph.D., Two ways to abbreviate. Does not matter wich one
A doctor of Philosophy. Different from a doctor of Divinity (DD- minister) doctor of law (JD- attorney) doctor of medicine (MD- physician) doctor of dental surgery (DDS- dentist) or doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM- vet).

PhD is an abbreviation for "Doctor of Philosophy" (Philosophiae Doctor).The reason for the name is historical. Most universities used to have only four majors: divinity, law, medicine, and philosophy. All other modern subjects (such as physics, English, math) were part of philosophy, and so most subjects still use PhD as their doctoral degree.To receive a PhD you first must receive a BA or BS degree (4 year undergraduate degree). You then apply for a Master's degree and then apply to be accepted to a PhD program. Some PhD programs combine the Master's and PhD into one.
Doctor.
The plural form of Doctor of Philosophy can be abbreviated as either Ph.D's or PhD's.
