Is Dr Anthony Mcgrath Still a Doctor
If you check his LinkedIn (and I did, because I have no life), he lists himself as “Healthcare Consultant & Advocate.” Cute. That’s what we call a “Therapist but make it jargon.” He’s got a podcast, a few e-books on burnout, and a TikTok where he dances wearing a lab coat. Is he still a doctor? Legally? In the eyes of the Medical Board of Whatever-State? Probably not. His license status is currently “inactive” or “lapsed” in most jurisdictions.
But here’s the irony: he feels like a doctor. He uses the title on his website. He gives medical-ish advice on his Instagram stories. He’s the guy who says, “I’m not practicing, but I can still answer your questions about your rash.” That’s a red flag the size of a hospital blanket.
The blurry line between “Doctor” and “Person who went to med school once”
Let’s be honest: the title “Doctor” is as much a brand as a certification. Dr. Oz still calls himself a doctor, and he shills green coffee beans. Dr. Phil is a doctor of psychology—sort of. The public loves a fallen healer. We want our doctors to be flawed, repentant, and then give us advice on how to fix our lives.

So, Dr. Anthony McGrath—is he still a doctor? Technically? No. Legally? Not in any meaningful way. But culturally? He’s still wearing the white coat in our minds. And honestly, he’s probably making more money as a “reformed doctor influencer” than he ever did stitching wounds.
