It must be médecin traitant. It's mentioned in the previous sentence.

with (his wife's) GP

A médecin traitant is the same as a British general practitioner.

General Practitioner/Doctor
http://www.easyexpat.com/en/guides/switzerland/zurich/health...
"Access to doctors and specialists is provided for with even basic insurance. Determine what kind of doctor you need. A General Practitioner (G.P.) is usually called Arzt für Allgemeinmedizin or Praktischer Arzt. People usually go here first as they prescribe drugs, treat acute and chronic illnesses, and provide preventive care and health education. If they need additional assistance or specialized care, they may receive an "Ueberweisung" (referral) to a specialist or consultant (Facharzt)."

with his regular doctor

MT médecin traitant - would seem to make sense in context - he's going to arrange a visit with his wife's doctor.
I'm afraid the source is only wikipedia in this case - Liste d'abréviations en médecine

in this case of course it will be with his wife's doctor.
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : Yes, "her" in this case. I think the French is slightly confusing.
