As a med student, this sounds pretty oxymoronic to me... cries in the corner

    Are the phrases "The young doctor" and "The doctor is young" expressed differently?

      "The young doctor" = "A fiatal orvos"

      The young doctor would be "A fiatal orvos".

        Would it be the same word, i.e. orvos, for like "doctress"?

            Why is "that doctor is young" not also correct?

              Because it means "Az az orvos fiatal". The first "az" means "that", the second "az" or "a" is required before the noun unlike in English. "the doctor" = "az orvos", "that doctor" = "az az orvos", "this doctor" = "ez az orvos".
