* In ''Literature/{{Hurog}}'' averted with Oreg, who can heal wounds with magic, and has the necessary knowledge for treating wounds without using magic - but apparently he's helpless when it comes to psychological problems. He clearly is very fond of Ciarra, who is mute for what is likely psychosomatic reasons, but is never shown to have attempted to do anything about her muteness. Likewise, there's Ciarra's mother, whose brain is damaged by taking herbal drugs; that seems to be beyond Oreg's power, too. And that even though he is Really700YearsOld.
** There are others who ''can'' ... magically mess with people's brains, though whether they use that for ''good'' is a different question.

* A more literal "Super" Doc would be ''[[WebComic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja Doctor McNinja]]'', who not only specializes in bizarre medical problems (like a disease that turns people into Paul Bunyans), but also fights crime and saves the world in his spare time.

Physiology. Physiognomy is to do with facial features, which the Horta does not have so far as we can tell.

* Dr. Tenma from ''Manga/{{Monster}}'' is noted to be a genius doctor, but his specialty is neurosurgery. He often ends up performing operations on people that have nothing whatsoever to do with the nervous system, and pulling it off because he's just that good.
* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': The "frog-faced doctor" seems to be capable of treating ''anything''. Now, he does have access to some seriously advanced medical technology, but thus far the only things he's been unable to cure have been cases where portions of his patient's brain have been outright destroyed, and in one of those cases he found a workaround anyway. There's a reason he's known as "Heaven Canceller".

He has superpowers that allow him to heal injuries, cure diseases, and regenerate tissue at a touch (he can even raise the dead, assuming they haven't been dead for longer than a couple of hours or so, but he doesn't advertise that fact). The fact that he doesn't keep a secret identity and is called "Doctor Steubbing" in the press as often as he's called "Lifeline" has lead a lot of people to [[NotThatKindOfDoctor assume he is another kind of doctor]]...

Kes/Paris being used as a nurse/medic was more for when they couldn't bring the patient to the Doctor as he was, at least initially, stuck in sickbay by his holographic nature there being no projectors elsewhere on the ship.
