I am using the following code but just getting ['Dr.'] in output.

re.findall("Dr.[a-z\s]+",text)

Answer 1

If the doctors will always follows the same format, you can search for then with \w+ for a word and \s for space.

(Dr\.\s\w+\s\w+)

Code

---

text = 'he is Dr. alex dams. He puts up in Washington town since 1990. He has been a very good friend of Dr. kane Andeas and his family'

re.findall(r'(Dr\.\s\w+\s\w+)', text)

#['Dr. alex dams', 'Dr. kane Andeas']

Answer 2

While PacketLoss answer works it will not catch hyphen divided names (like Pearl-Hopson or similar).

I would go for:

text = 'he is Dr. alex dams. He puts up in Washington town since 1990. He has been a very good friend of Dr. kane Andeas and his family'

re.findall(r'(Dr\.\s\S+\s\S+\b)', text)
