Very Few. Personally, I want a smart one, not a religious one.

Yes, my previous doctor was a creationist. When I found out, I immediately found a new doctor. I want my doctors to know how things work correctly, for that, you have to understand evolution.
I now specifically ask any medical professional I don't know what religion they are and to summarize how they think the universe, life, and humans came to be. If they are religious, fine. If they say a deity made the Big Bang, fine. If they say a deity guided abiogenesis and evolution, fine. If they say anything about a creation myth, regardless of religion, I demand a replacement nurse/doctor.

Many doctors are Christian. many of those are creationists. Some of the creationists are also "young earth"-ists.
god bless!!

If you mean MDs, of course! But the funny thing is that they won't give their infected patients an antibiotic that has been superseded because the germ in question has evolved. I mean, if there's no evolution, then why not give them the old antibiotic?
You have to be careful with doctors who have little respect for science.

I will only go to doctors that are either Jewish or Christians and that includes dentists too. All the rest are pill pushers and I want results not drugs

yeah there are many doctors that are creationists. my cousin's a doctor and he believes in creationism. doctors aren't the ones you should be concerned with, it's the scientist.

I suspect there are creationists in almost every field.

Yes. There is no requirement to believe evolution in medical school. It pops up time to time, but you really only need to know about humans. I suspect it would be harder for vetrinarians.
