Private Practitioner? No title if they don't have an academic one? It's not a major thing

If he is professor, you put MD and professor together + dept affiliation (say IM)...
It's meaningless to say Dr.XYZ, MD

Title means what comes before his name, based on his degree or academic rank,e.g Dr. Prof.,Mr etc.I stand to be corrected.
