Hi again,
Sorry for the bombing of questions. That is the last question for today. Would do you translate "niedergelassener Arzt" as "registered doctor"?. Thank you for your answers.

agree  Steffen Walter: "physician in private practice" - GP is too narrow as "niedergelassene Ärzte" might have specialisations other than "Allgemeinmedizin".

Explanation:
This is the term I (and my clients) have been using in market research for the last 15+ years - both for British and American (US & Canadian) clients.
