It depends on what kind of doctor, and at times his/her specialty. For example, A general physician can be an MD, or DO. D.O. stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and M.D. stands for Doctor of Medicine. A doctor of psychology could be a PsyD or PhD, a dentist can be DDS, etc.

They tell you what the doctorate is in. D.O. stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, M.D. stands for Doctor of Medicine, D.C. is Doctor of Chiropractic, Ph.D. is a Doctor of Philosophy - which could be in almost anything - business, history, etc., Sci.D. is scientific doctor- usually math or physics, and J.D. is juris doctor - a lawyer.

For some doctors it can also tell you what their specialty is. For instance: "M.D., F.A.C.S." means they are a Doctor of Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
