Answer: House, M.D.

As the Dean of Medicine, Dr. Lisa Cuddy was one of the few people who could tell Dr. Gregory House, maverick diagnostician, what to do. Even then, he didn't usually listen. In later seasons, they had an on-off romance. Dr. Cuddy was played by Boston native Lisa Edelstein.

When "ER" burst onto television screens in 1994, Dr. Susan Lewis was one of a crop of new interns at the fictional County hospital in Chicago.

4. Dr. Sydney Hansen

Answer: Providence

In "Providence", Dr. Sydney Hansen leaves a glamorous, lucrative cosmetic surgery practice in Beverly Hills to move in with her family in her hometown in Rhode Island. The show portrays the lives of people in the multi-generational household, including her veterinarian father, her single-mother sister Joanie, and her rebellious brother Robbie. Dr. Hansen's departed mother, loving but a bit too full of advice, visited her daughter in her dreams. Dr. Hansen was played by Melina Kanakaredes, who was born in Akron, Ohio.
5. Dr. Abigail Bartlet

6. Dr. Jennifer Melfi

Answer: The Sopranos

Despite some temptations, Dr. Melfi stuck to her professional ethics. She was played by New York native Lorraine Bracco.
7. Dr. Dana Scully

Answer: The X-Files

Most of Dr. Dana Scully's patients were of the non-living kind, as she was a forensic pathologist. Extremely intelligent and knowledgable, Dr. Scully contrasted with her FBI partner, the more open-minded Fox Mulder. Gillian Anderson's portrayal of Dr. Scully was so influential, she is credited with an uptick of women and girls studying science. Gillian was born in Chicago but spent much of her childhood in London.

Baker graduated from UC Berkeley before entering the acting world in San Francisco.
9. Dr. Elliot Reid

Answer: Scrubs

Dr. Elliot Reid was in a group of interns at Sacred Heart Hospital in "Scrubs." Naturally competitive, Elliot soon realized she needed help from her colleagues to be successful as a physician.

10. Dr. Temperance Brennan

Answer: Bones

Dr. Brennan's nickname was the name of the television show: "Bones." Bones was considered one of the best forensic anthropologists in the field. From her lab in Washington, D.C., she partnered with the FBI to solve complex crimes using forensic science.
