Most people with doctoral degrees are properly called doctor. The lone exception I can think of is that I've never heard of someone with a Juris Doctor degree (a lawyer in other words) being so addressed.

In the German language they don't have this issue. They have the word doktor for one who possesses some or another doctoral degree, while one who heals is an arzt.
