Does a medical doctor hold a Ph.D?

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.

What is the highest level of a doctor?

The Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D. ) is the highest doctorate. However, there are some doctorates granted in the United Kingdom called Higher Doctorates which are awarded for a successful academic career and considerable research. Nevertheless, the Ph.D. requires the most credits for its completion and also a demanding dissertation. In summary the Ph.D. is not only the highest doctorate among the "real" academic doctorates but also ranks much higher than puffed up pseudo doctorates such as the M.D. and J.D. in terms of scholarship and academics.
