The expression "just what the doctor ordered" is equivalent to "perfectly fitting" or "just what is needed." Exactly what the "doctor ordered" will of course depend on the context in which the phrase appears.

For example, in a situation that has maybe been stressful or tiring, a friend offers you a gin and tonic. You say 'Ah! Just what the doctor ordered'.

It's as if your doctor has ordered you to do something to make you better.

Just what the doctor ordered means that whatever it is being referred to will help you. Example: I'm relaxing in the sun on the beach and comment, "This is just what the doctor ordered." What I mean is, I needed this and it will help me like something a doctor ordered to make me feel better.

From doctors - they write prescriptions to make their patients feel better. The phrase has come to mean figuratively anything that would make things better.
