I think that is a matter of local usage. I would not expect to call a physiotherapist 'doctor', but of course if it was the local habit, i would not want to be rude. Dentists are called doctors in the USA, but not in the UK.

Physical therapy education varies greatly from country to country. Worldwide, physical therapy training ranges from basic work site education in hospitals and outpatient clinics to professional doctoral degree (DPT) programs.

Hi Shiva,

Anonymousis physiotherapist called doctor?
As per Medical Council of India ( MCI ), Physiotherapists are not doctors and therefore should not be allowed to prefix “Doctor” in front of their name.

Physiotherapists are also one of the para-medical personnel who work with medical specialties including Orthopaedic, physica
