There are many fake doctors on television and cable. We do not actually have definitive information on whether specific individuals like Dr. Jill Biden or Dr. Phil are considered “real” or “fake” doctors. Making determinations about someone’s legitimate credentials requires looking into the details of their education, training, licensing and fields of practice. In general though, the use of the title “Dr.” by public figures or celebrities can sometimes be misleading if they do not hold a doctorate degree from an accredited institution in a specific academic discipline. Some points on this topic: The honorific “Dr.” typically refers to someone who has earned a doctoral degree like an M.D., Ph.D., Ed.D, etc. from a recognized university. However, in some contexts, the “Dr.” title is used more broadly or honorarily, which can cause confusion. There have been cases of celebrities or public figures implying expertise by using “Dr.” in front of their names when they do not have a substantiated doctoral credential. This potential misrepresentation understandably raises questions about someone’s true qualifications and background. At the same time, many notable public figures do hold legitimate doctorates in fields like medicine, psychology, education and more. Rather than make specific judgments, the key is to review the claimed credentials and determine if someone has earned a doctorate degree from an accredited institution that is relevant to the expertise they are claiming or portraying to the public. Transparency about one’s educational background helps avoid ambiguity.

I don’t think everyone knows how people like Dr. Phil or Dr. Jill Biden have a legitimate traditional doctorate degree. Many so called fake doctors often get their doctorate degree from unaccredited colleges and universities through work experience credit and do not have to go through traditional programs like creating a thesis and dissertation. This method of earning a doctorate can be true for Dr. Phil and Dr. Jill Biden. The prestigious Doctor title is being commercialized by the media by being used as Doctor Landscape, Doctor Plumber, Doctor Roach Killer, Doctor Death, Doctor Tacos, Doctor Weed Killer, etc.
