Explanation:
I suspect it is the Spanish Don/don and not the person's surname here. Of course, I may be wrong.

Dr / Mr o bien Mr.--, MD


Explanation:
En inglés no se puede anteceder el nombre/apellido con ambos títulos, doctor y 'don' o 'señor'.

Pero sí se puede elegir mencionar el título profesional después del nombre, y dejar el título de cortesía antes del nombre, así:

Mr. John Smith, MD

MD= medical doctor

O también, de acuerdo a las circunstancias:

His Excellency Mr. John Smith, MD (para embajadores)
The Honorable Mr. John Smith, MD (para congresales, por ejemplo)
