I had an observing female Muslim doctor for a procedure. I am male. She did not touch me but had a nurse do the work. I researched this a bit;
From Al-Islam.org;Rules of the religion.“Question 40: Is one able to refer to a doctor of the opposite sex for something that a doctor of the same gender is able to do?
Answer: If the doctor of the same gender is able to cure the patient than it is impermissible to refer to a doctor of the opposite sex.
Question 41: Can a man refer to a woman doctor or a woman refer to a male doctor when there is a doctor of the same gender available for such things as injections or casting broken bones?
Answer: If the doctor of the same sex is able to cure the patient than it is impermissible to refer to a doctor of the opposite gender."
I have to see a new doctor who I believe is Islamic. He is highly recommended. So I may ask him about this.

At least until Dr. Hand sues for improper contact.
