There is no specific dress that a woman is obligated to wear. Rather, the conditions of the legal must be met. As for a doctor's mixing with and dealing with women, there is no harm in it, unless there is a fitna (temptation) or a lack of adherence to Islamic regulations. In such a case, it is not permissible except out of necessity or an urgent need.
