Not unless the doctor is also a notary... which is uncommon. However, most hospitals have a notary available to patients and family if you need one.

You haven't said where you are, and where the document is to be used, and for what.
Assuming (from your spelling) that you are in the UK, and from the request for notarization that the document is to be used in the USA, the correct information is here:
http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/acs/scs/notary.html
It's rather complex, so I won't copy and paste but will say this: notarization is rare in the UK, but there are local notaries and you can (and sometimes must) have their signature and stamp legalized or apostilled by the FCO. For a document to be used in the USA (especially if you are an American citizen) it may be possible to have the document notarized by a US consular officer in London, Edinburgh or Belfast.
Notarization is ridiculously expensive. Instead of the $2 (or so, or free) it costs in the US, it will cost US$30 or more in England.
It may be possible to satisfy the US enduser -- unless it is a court -- with something less (and cheaper) than notarization. But "signed as a deed" doesn't impress anyone over there. Nor will certification by a professional (which is obviously where the "medical doctor" part of your query came in) as you do for a British or Irish passport application.

No,
A Doctor is not a notary.
You can find a Notary in the yellow pages,
at most car dealerships,
and some UPS stores have them, on staff.

A notary public is registered with the state as a notary. Doctors may or may not be notaries however most lawyers are.

Yes in some States, a GP is counted as a public notary.

No, only a notary of the public can do that, look one up in your phone book.

A doctor is not a notary. He lacks the notary license and stamp to do this, unless they are a notary on the side.

Only if they are a notary. Go to your bank, they always have a notary there at all times, and usually don't charge.
