doctors is a contraction of doctor's (doctors') surgery.
the example in the wiki specifically says not to use butchers which is exactly 
the same contraction from butcher's or butchers' shop

neither doctors nor doctor on the wiki are marked as being accepted
i gave it as a simple example of where there is no clear guidance in the wiki 
but the editors have caused compliance with one form
