The active voice. The subject of the sentence ('the doctor') is the 'doer' of the action of the verb ('was treating').

If it were in the passive voice it would read 'The patient was being treated by the doctor.' The subject of the sentence ('the patient') would be the 'recipient' of the action of the verb ('was being treated').

How do you word without passive voice Eating disorders have a strong chance of being conquered by seeking the medical?

Firstly, your sentence isn't complete. I presume you meant "...seeking the advice of a doctor." Secondly, your sentence is not passive, it's active. The main verb is 'have' which is already active. I think you may be looking at 'being conquered' and the 'by clause' and you think the sentence is passive. However, you could say, "A doctor has a strong chance of conquering eating disorders by advising the patient..." but this is still an active sentence. As you can see my sentence has a by clause as well but it is not passive.
