The doctors for ObamaCare are shown below:
Seems a lot of doctors supporting universal health care right? They look nice in their white coats. Everyone here raise your hand if you donated to Obama's presidential campaign. In total 150 showed up. Pretty good head count. Forty of the 150 were from Doctors For Obama America. That's an organization for socialized medicine.
Now, look at the two photos below. These photos are taken from the Million Med March that was held on Oct. 1. These are doctors against ObamaCare. Never heard of this march? That's because it did not get a lot of press coverage. It is estimated that 200 doctors showed up for this protest. Notice in the photo on the right, there is no-one wearing white coats. What's with that? Like doctors wear their white coats outside of their practice all the time. Sure, right. So, it seems according to the photos there is about the same amount of doctors for (minus 40) and against socialized medicine or if you prefer the government public option.

Actually, there were about 75 doctors at the Million Med March, wearing their white lab coats and about 125 non-doctors. The Rose Garden only holds about 150 people, which is why that's the number that were there.
More to the point, the majority of doctors actually do support reform. According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, 72% of doctors support reform with some form of a public option (http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/NEJMp0908239) and 8 of the 10 largest medical societies (including the American Medical Association, the American College of Physicians, the American College of Surgeons, the American Association of Family Physicians, and others) have all endorsed this reform.
So I think there are doctors who are against this health reform. But I think there are substantially more who are for it.
