* {{Foil}}: He poses an interesting one for Dr. Cox. Both are mentors to younger doctors and interns, both defy certain stereotypes of their positions, and both play a role in developing the careers of the main characters, albeit in very different ways. Dr. Wen is an authority figure in the surgical section, who are stereotyped as HotBlooded "jocks" of the hospital, but Dr. Wen himself is a calm, even tempered man who encourages younger surgeons to grow beyond that stereotype. Dr. Cox meanwhile is a longtime doctor for Internal Medicine, who are stereotyped as the nerdy and neurotic section of the hospital, but is an athletic, [[HairTriggerTemper hot tempered]], rebellious figure who is reluctant to become the mentor for the interns.

* NotSoAboveItAll: While he's mostly a StraightMan and a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, at the end of one episode there was a race between Internal Medicine and the Surgeons, (doctors Cox and Wen are each sitting in a wheelchair, while they're pushed by J.D. and Turk respectively) and Dr. Wen is just as into it as anybody. In fact, he might be the most hyped person there and is really showing an intensely competitive side that goes against his usual even keeled approach.

* DeadpanSnarker: It's not his default mode, but he occasionally slips in snarky comments in a very dry tone that doesn't call much attention to it. For example, when Turk goes to apologize to Dr. Wen after making a comment accusing Dr. Wen of favoring another intern because the intern is also Asian-American:

'''Dr. Wen:''' I'll pass it on at the next big meeting.

She's perfectly fine with being obnoxious to anyone else, especially rival surgeons, but plays nice and kisses butt for her superiors. For example, after being chosen to assist Dr. Wen in one procedure, she politely thanks him, and when Dr. Wen has his back turned, tells Turk to kiss her ass because she was chosen instead of him.
* FoeYay: During a moment of insecurity Carla briefly fears that she and Turk have a case of this InUniverse. However it's firmly averted, Turk and Bonnie are shown to dislike each other pretty intensely and have no interest in each other.
* JerkAss: Competitive, rude, and obnoxious. Put her in a position of power and she'll add condescending to the mix too, as she does when Turk is forced to act as her assistant during a surgical procedure.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: When Turk tries to bury the hatchet with her and offers to give her the spot for the Doctors Without Borders trip, it briefly seems like she's considering what he says, but she almost immediately throws it back in his face and continues (rather childishly) her rivalry with him instead.
* TheNapoleon: She's quite petite, and is often aggressive, especially to the much taller Turk, who often has to bend over to look her in the eyes.
* OnlyOneName: She's only ever referred to as Bonnie. At one point the board with different surgical assignments puts her last name as Lee, ([[TheDanza the actual surname of the actress playing her]]) but in another episode it seems to indicate her last name is Chang instead. The show's wiki has decided to list her as Bonnie Chang.
* RejectedApology: Turk tries to make peace with her and offers her Doctors Without Borders trip that she should have gotten instead of him. She tells him off and continues their rivalry instead.
* TheRival: Turk's rival in the surgical department. Her disappearance after Turk makes one last attempt to normalize relations with her is probably a sign that Turk decided to take Dr. Wen's advice, stop putting so much importance on competing with her, and move on with his own life and career instead.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She's never seen again after the early Season 2 episode which pretty effectively shows that she has no interest ending her rivalry and competition with Turk.

[[folder: Phillip Wen]]
!!'''Phillip Wen (Charles Chun)'''
->''"You know Christopher, surgeons don't have to be shallow rank obsessed cliches."''

The Chief of Surgery and Turk's superior. He's the OnlySaneMan of the Surgery Wing and thinks surgeons can be more than just stereotypical JerkJock[=s=] that are obsessed with being the best.
----
* HappilyMarried: He's mentioned to be married and was involved in a car accident with his wife briefly.
* NotSoAboveItAll: While he's mostly a StraightMan and a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, at the end of one episode there was a race between Internal Medicine and the Surgeons, (doctors Cox and Wen are each sitting in a wheelchair, while they're pushed by J.D. and Turk respectively) and Dr. Wen is just as into it as anybody. In fact, he might be the most hyped person there and the most competitive to win the race.
* OnlySaneMan: Firmly believes that surgeons don't need to be shallow rank obsessed cliches and has a no-nonsense approach with his interns and doesn't approve of goofing off or large egos while on the job.
* PutOnABus: He disappeared physically shortly after giving Turk his attending surgeon position, supposedly for family reasons. He was mentioned a bit in Season 6, but he never appeared again. He still appeared in J.D.'s final fantasy in My Finale.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He doesn't abuse his power and he compliments the [=interns/residents=] when they do well. He also gives Turk an attending surgeon position because he was providing excellent patient care beyond the bare minimum.
* StraightMan: Even more than Carla. He's pretty much the only normal person of ''all'' the people who worked at Sacred Heart Hospital throughout the show.

----
* BackForTheFinale: Appears in J.D.'s last fantasy in My Finale to say he hates him.
* ButtMonkey: Both J.D. and Dr. Cox have taken advantage of their power over him on several occasions, with Dr. Cox even once mummifying his head.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's as much of an ass to J.D. as he can be and get away with it.
* PutOnABus: Vanished after Season 5 outside of a small cameo in Season 6.
* ReallyGetsAround: He has three children that he knows about and probably has more.

[[folder: Molly Clock]]
!!'''Molly Clock (Creator/HeatherGraham)'''

A BunnyEarsLawyer psychiatrist who temporarily worked at Sacred Heart Hospital.
----
* TheAce: A brilliant shrink who could not only heal The Todd, make any character realize their problems, but her everlasting good mood couldn't be crushed by Dr. Kelso and Dr. Cox combined either.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Sort of. She tells JD that she is attracted to damaged, dysfunctional people.
--> '''J.D.''': Molly, I'm narcissistic, I'm pessimistic, I'm obsessive, I'm insecure. And I am so afraid of intimacy that every one of my relationships is a journey of self-sabotage that inevitably ends in a black vacuum of shattered expectations and despair.
--> '''Molly''': Wow. ''(she kisses him passionately)''
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Acts like a total airhead, yet she is a very skilled psychiatrist.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Very much so.
--> '''Molly:''' So, where were we?
--> '''J.D.:''' Uhh, we weren't talking.
--> '''Molly:''' Was it cause of something you did? Cause I'm totally over it, I don't even remember what it was.
--> '''J.D.:''' No, I mean like, we've never talked. Ever.
--> '''Molly:''' Well how do I know your name then?
--> '''J.D.:''' You don't.
** There is a running gag that never gets commented on in series- Molly never has a clue what time it is.
* DitzyGenius: Extremely perceptive and a brilliant psychiatrist, but also very ditzy and spacey (even more than JD or Elliot). She’s not nearly as naïve as she seems and is able to manipulate both Dr. Kelso and Dr. Cox.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Is almost exclusively seen wearing flipflops when wearing shoes at all.
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Blonde and attracts most of the hospital.
--> '''Turk''': It's not just sex. It's sex with Molly! Any guy would kill to have sex with Molly.
* GoodIsNotDumb: Molly's indomitable optimism stands against the cynicism of Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso, and she's still able to triumph against them.
* HospitalHottie: The hospital's second hottest employee of the female staff members, according to JD and Turk.
* NiceGirl: Yes, she’s very nice to everyone, but far from a pushover.
* PutOnABus: She's introduced in early season 4 and is Put on a Bus after a few episodes. TheBusCameBack for one episode later in the season.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: A short-lived one with Elliot.
* ShoutOut: Her name is a reference to Dr. Dolly Klock, who was the medical consultant for the show's pilot episode.
* TeamMom: Proves to be a better one than Carla, which makes Carla temporarily jealous when all her friends start confiding their problems to Molly.
* WideEyedIdealist: She believes in the best in everybody, and that nobody is truly bad. She succeeds in proving her point to Dr. Cox. and Kelso (despite them claiming the opposite) and finding the HiddenHeartOfGold in both of them.

[[folder: Kim Briggs]]
!!'''Kim Briggs (Creator/ElizabethBanks)'''

A surgeon at Sacred Heart. She and J.D. become romantically involved in season 5, but she becomes pregnant on their second date, causing their relationship to become infinitely more complicated. Soon after, she moves away for work and claims to have a miscarriage, but she actually did not and naturally, J.D. eventually finds out. Though they do not end up together, J.D. and Kim do ultimately manage to amiably co-parent their son, Sam.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: J.D. finds out that Kim passed on performing a risky surgery to keep her stats up and gives her a [[TheReasonYouSuck Reason You Suck]] speech; Kim [[AnAesop "learns a lesson"]] from this and does the surgery, even though the other doctors (''including'' [[DrJerk Doctor Cox]]) treat her passing on it as a fairly reasonable thing to do considering [[BrokenAesop the demands of her job.]] Incidentally, this might be the only time in the entire series where she appears to consider J.D.'s opinions about something to be [[ItsAllAboutMe of similar importance to her own.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Either her pregnancy hormones made her completely crazy, or she's really [[ItsAllAboutMe not]] [[TheUnfairSex a very]] [[InsaneTrollLogic nice]] [[NeverMyFault person.]]
* ButICantBePregnant: She and J.D. opt not to have sex because they don't have a condom and don't want to risk a pregnancy. Unfortunately, it's still possible (although unlikely) to get pregnant without performing full intercourse. When J.D. asks if she's sure she's pregnant, she [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill produces about 12 positive pregnancy tests.]]
* ConvenientMiscarriage: She attempts to pull this in order to break up with J.D. after moving away for work - it would have probably worked better if she'd [[BlatantLies actually miscarried, though.]]
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: She is blonde and her debut episode reveals that "she gets along with everybody" and "all the guys like her".
* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: PlayedStraight - though they discuss the option, J.D. and Kim decide not to abort.
* HospitalHottie: ''Everyone'' in the hospital likes her, she has no issue with casually sharing details of her past sex life with patients, and J.D. is smitten with her as soon as he first notices her.
* InsaneTrollLogic: She admits that she resents that J.D. broke up with her after her faked miscarriage because she wanted him to want to be with her in spite of it... even though she recognizes that ''she'' wouldn't have wanted to stay together with him without the baby either.
* MotorMouth: She and Elliot bond over both being this.
* NeverMyFault: She moves away for work even though J.D. wanted her to stay, then lies to J.D. about miscarrying their child. The only reason he even found out she was still pregnant was because he ran into her at a medical conference while she was showing. After J.D. tells her that he doesn't think he can ever fully forgive her for this or consider getting together with her romantically again, she breaks down crying because'' '''obviously''' [[InsaneTrollLogic her pregnancy has made her too fat for him to be attracted to her now.]]'' Never mind the perfectly reasonable reasons he has to not want to be with her...
* PairTheSpares: Kim ends up with [[spoiler: Sean, Elliot's ex and J.D.'s 'nemesis.']] Elliot introduced them.
* RememberTheNewGuy: She's introduced in the tail-end of season 5, but the characters claim [[RetCon she's been there all along.]] Attempted justification in-universe in that J.D. doesn't notice women who [[WeddingRingDefense wear wedding rings.]]
* RomanticFalseLead: For J.D.
* TheUnfairSex: She tells J.D. she loves him for the first time while in labor, and insists he immediately tell her whether or not he loves her too; when he tries to gently explain he doesn't but hopes to eventually, she flips out and dumps him. Everyone else treats this as though J.D. has done something truly horrible - even though Kim basically begged J.D. to get back together with her in the first place when he was reluctant to after she lied to him about miscarrying.
* WeddingRingDefense: Kim continued wearing her wedding ring after her divorce to keep people from hitting on her.

An intern introduced in Season 8, she's a notorious kiss ass out for herself trying to get ahead of everyone else.
----
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She puts on a good show of politeness and amiability, but she is a notorious kiss-ass who will manipulate and screw over everyone in her way to get ahead and takes credit for things she didn't do.
* BreakTheHaughty: Carla inflicts one of these on her after she catches Katie taking credit for doing a medical procedure she didn't do and warns her that everyone's aware how she's out for herself and no one cares about her past and if she lets them, the hospital staff will take care of her. It works.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She is incredibly selfish and out for herself and will walk over anyone to get what she wants.
* ManipulativeBitch: She used Elliot to get Turk to give her an research opportunity and then took credit for a medical procedure that another intern did. Carla quickly discouraged this as soon as she saw it.

* MeaningfulName: Sunny Day.
* NiceGirl: She is incredibly nice and friendly to everyone, but she's aware of her fellow intern's flaws, she just overlooks them.
* PerpetualSmiler: The Janitor even called her "Smiley Intern".
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The cheerful and friendly Girly Girl to her "best friend", the rude, cynical TheLadette Denise.

[[folder: Ed Dhandapani]]
!!'''Ed Dhandapani (Creator/AzizAnsari)'''

An intern introduced in Season 8, he is notoriously lazy and ends up fired when Dr. Cox is Chief of Medicine because of this after being given a second chance.
----
* BrilliantButLazy: He was doing much better then most interns at first despite his laziness, but it's immediately deconstructed after it's proven that he's not willing to improve when he has to and then he gets fired for it.
* PutOnABus: He was fired after Dr. Cox finally gave up on him. This was because his actor got a permanent position on ''Series/ParksAndRecreation''.
* TheSlacker: He's the most lazy intern ever and instead of doing all the stuff that interns have to do so they can grow as doctors, he'd rather slack off and go get pizza.
* TheStoner: Rumored to be, but it's never confirmed.
* YouAreTheNewTrend: He starts so many new trends in his short time at the hospital.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He seems quite cheerful and friendly at first, but it quickly becomes apparent that he's ''deeply'' unstable.
* ButtMonkey: A favorite of Turk and JD's. His status as one is what drives him crazy
* DisproportionateRetribution: After being caught by a prank involving bouillon cubes put in the shower-head, his response is to threaten to run the perpetrator over in his S.U.V. Some interns following Hooch around for a day led to a hostage situation.
** (while holding a lighter with a humongous flame) "Burn for a burn, baby! That's in the Bible."

* PhraseCatcher: Said fondly / in amusement: "Hooch is ''crazy''."

An attending introduced in Season 3. She's an incredibly condescending {{Jerkass}} and sees any attempt to defend her from men as sexism. She was written out of the show at the end of Season 3.
----
* DistaffCounterpart: To Dr. Cox. She didn't last long because [[WordOfGod the writers]] realized that they had already a female version of Dr. Cox in Jordan.
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: In a fantasy, the surgeons imagine her as Creator/MarilynMonroe.
* HospitalHottie: How she is seen by the male surgeons, including Turk. Dr. Cox. and Dr. Kelso were attracted to her too.

[[folder: Dan Dorian]]

J.D.'s less successful older brother. Usually shows up OnceASeason and mooches off of his brother.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''D'''an '''D'''orian.
* BigBrotherBully: He's still bullying JD even as an adult.
* BrokenPedestal: At some point JD started seeing him as a loser.
--> '''Dan:''' (solemn) "Look. My brother will never look up to me. But he hangs on your (Cox) word."
* DisappointingOlderSibling: Dan was a cool guy in high school but became an underpaid bartender and attic dweller while J.D. went on to become a doctor.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Foolish to J.D.'s Responsible.
* {{Jerkass}}: Dan has always been a jackass to J.D., sleeping with his college girlfriend, sleeping with Elliot, constantly bullying J.D. as they grew up and whenever Dan showed up, he mooched off of J.D., constantly annoyed him and gave him all kinds of hell for no reason other then ForTheLulz.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: More like a "Jerk With a Tiny Heart of Bronze". He made it clear that Dr. Cox took being J.D.'s mentor more seriously out of concern that J.D. would become a cynical jackass who hated his job (Season 3), comforted J.D. when their dad died (Season 4) and bought J.D. a new car. (Season 7)
* ManChild: So immature and irresponsible that [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} J.D.]] is actually the more serious brother. Despite J.D's goofy personality, he's very good at his job and and can look after himself, unlike his brother.
* RagsToRiches: He eventually makes a profitable career as a real estate agent, much to J.D.'s initial chagrin, since he was the one used to be the successful brother.
* StrawLoser: J.D. is glad that his loser brother Dan makes him look successful in comparison to him. Averted in season 7 where Dan becomes a successful real estate agent, making J.D. very jealous.
* WhatTheHellHero: He wasn't happy that J.D. told him that he's meant to be the loser of the family.

----
* AllThereInTheManual: Her real first and last name
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Doesn't really get much in characterization beyond her romance with the Janitor
* TerrifiedOfGerms: She's a hand specific germaphobe, a fact her therapist believes was a contributing factor in her falling for the Janitor. That and [[LikeParentLikeSpouse he's a dead ringer for her dad]]
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Basically the punchline of her name. She has a brother named Him.

[[folder: Jason "Cabbage" Cabbagio]]
!!'''Jason "Cabbage" Cabbagio (Shaughn Buchholz)'''

A spectacularly incompetent intern, who first appears in Season 5 and is quickly fired. He later pops up again as one of the baristas at the hospital's Coffee Bucks.
----
* TheBusCameBack: After getting fired in Season 5, he returns in Season 6 working at Coffee Bucks, and makes several more appearances during the course of that season.
* EpicFail: Easily takes the cake as the most incompetent medical professional seen in the show's entire run. He doesn't have any hidden talents like Doug, isn't suffering from outdated knowledge like Dr. Townshend, and isn't an otherwise-competent doctor who lets his attitude get in the way like Cole; he simply has ''zero'' talent for medicine, something further illustrated when he has to resort to working as a barista to make a living.
* {{Expy}}: Subverted. Initially J.D. takes Cabbage to be much like his own younger self, and resolves to have a better relationship with him than he himself does with Dr. Cox. As Cox himself later points out, however, Cabbage is actually his ''opposite''; whereas J.D. is a goofball whose relationship with his mentor is complicated at best, but ultimately a good doctor, Cabbage is much more earnest and affable and has a good relationship with J.D., but is dangerously incompetent and has absolutely no business trying to become a medical professional. If anything, he's actually an even more incompetent version of Doug.
* MeaningfulName: Not so much at first, but eventually J.D. has to admit that an ''actual'' cabbage would probably make a better doctor than him.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: At least, when we're talking about his tenure as an intern. He got fired after four episodes, but not before he transmits an ultimately lethal infection to Mrs. Wilk, a recurring patient, via his improper handling of medical waste.

[[folder:Danni Sullivan]]
!!'''Danni Sullivan (Tara Reid)'''

Jordan's sister who briefly dated J.D. in season 3.
----
* DistaffCounterpart: Strangely enough, she's introduced as this to J.D. in her first episode.
* JerkassHasAPoint: She points out to J.D. that his obsession with Elliot was just because he always wants the things he can't have. And she was perfectly right.
* TheLadette: She likes beer, smoking, rough sex...
* ReallyGetsAround: She was cheating on J.D. during their rebound relationship, and at Turk's wedding she made out with both Doug and Ted.
* TookALevelInJerkass: She seems like a relatively decent person in her early appearances, but becomes more and more bitchy and slutty, especially after her first break up with J.D. In her last appearance ("My Quarantine" in season 4), she's completely obnoxious.

A little person who becomes part of the janitorial staff at Sacred Heart.
----

* BackForTheFinale: Appears as a cameo in J.D's exit scene in the original series finale.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Disappears without a mention after season 4.
* GroinAttack: Has a habit of saying "that's a real punch in the crotch!" when referring to a piece of badluck, leading to him doing this in J.D's fantasies.
* NoodleIncident: Apparently the Janitor once saved him from an eagle.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Stands roughly 3 feet tall and was apparently able to beat the BigGuy janitor in multiple wrestling matches, as well as easily break his hand in a handshake turned game of mercy.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse?: Appears as a recurring character on season 3 and 4,but eventually disappears afterwards with no explanation, despite his friendship with The Janitor and position in staff.
