Doctor Smurf (French name Schtroumpf Médecin or Schtroumpf Docteur) is a minor character of the original comics by Peyo and the 2021 TV series. He was featured as a minor character in the 1981 cartoon show episode "Calling Doctor Smurf", going by the name Dabbler Smurf in the episode.

Doctor usually wears a doctor's coat while wearing a stethoscope on his neck.

Prior to the Doctor Smurf comic book story, a forerunner of the character under the French name of Schtroumpf Docteur wore a black garment, white pants with silver/gold buckles on the soles, and a black hat with a silver/gold buckle. The forerunner of Doctor also had the tendency of carrying a syringe.

Personality[]

Doctor Smurf has a very superficial knowledge of medicine and health, often based on natural remedies: eggplant extract, whitethorn extract elixir, horehound tea, codfish liver oil, wormwood, four-leaf clovers, hawthorn root... He uses several medical books as sources of knowledge to give prescriptions to his patients. However, he's proud of his work, which is harmful at worst.

In "Smurfs Monsters", Doctor Smurf seemingly becomes more competent in his work and was able to diagnose Grandpa Smurf properly and use his natural remedies more correctly.

The real doctor of the Smurf Village is Papa Smurf, but in the Doctor Smurf story, Doctor Smurf creates a hospital and unknowingly endangers Papa Smurf's health by giving him a potion of wormwood mixed with a concoction of four-leaf clovers. It took the visit of Homnibus' friend, Ludovic the physician, to restore both Papa Smurf and Smurfette to health, and to get the Smurf known as Doctor Smurf to stop prescribing useless remedies.

Relationships with Others[]

Despite his strange advice and remedies, The Smurfs seem to like him and turn to him for help. In "Souffle Shuffle", Chef tells Greedy to get him Doctor.
