Can't quite put my finger on the irony here
Other than an extremely painful procedure, the most unpleasant thing about medical appointments, as far as I'm concerned, is the waiting. You sit there with nothing to take your mind off of the anxieties -- that you'll get bad news, that the procedure will be extremely painful -- other than the most irritating assortment of magazines known to humanity.
If hell is something affirmatively nasty, then purgatory is a waiting room with flourescent lights and bad magazines.
Which is why "Dr. Wait" is second only to "Dr. Pain" as an unfortunate name for a medical professional.
If you were "Doctor Wait," wouldn't you try real hard to find another way to phrase this idea?

A close third, in my opinion, is "Dr. Lies." There's a vet in Cincinnati called Dr. Mike Lies. He does commercials, but we learned not to trust him.

A man in my home town went by the name of Gil T. D'Innocente. He always used the initial -- it was, for example, printed on his mailbox and in his phone book listing.
His profession? Insurance salesman and, later, local politician. In retrospect, these job choices are just as appropriate as the obvious alternatives (judge, criminal lawyer, etc).

There's a local realtor named Katie Lies. I'm not sure I'd want to buy a house from her.
Oh, and my doctor has a fine Klingon name - he's Dr. Kang.

It's that she uses the title "Dr." when she's really a chiropractor.
