When you are denoting ownership, as in "The doctor's thermometer was in his pocket," you use an apostrophe. The apostrophe would come after 'doctors' if you were referring to more than one doctor in denoting ownership, for example, "The doctors' patients were getting impatient."

Since we are not talking about anything the assistants possess, we do not use "assistant's" or "assistants'".Note also that when an apostrophe is used to indicate possession, an "s" is involved. In general, the singular possessive form involves adding "'s" to the end of a word, and the plural possessive form involves adding an apostrophe to the end of a standard plural form, which already ends in "s".
