Hi Behnam,
Mr,Mrs and Ms are not generaly used alone.
Doctor can be used alone to talk to medical doctors whom one is consulting, but not usually in other cases:
E.g: Doctor, I've got this pain in my elbow.
Cheers,
Iman

"Hey mister" is a stereotypical way for a young child (particularly a boy) to get a man's attention. "Excuse me, sir -" is a more typical form for adults to use.
