A new season of The Doctors is coming soon but it will have a very different look. The thirteenth season of the syndicated series will premiere in September with a new studio, new format, and a new host.
Dr. Ian Smith is taking charge of the series and previous hosts Sonia Batra, Judy Ho, Nita Landry, Andrew Ordon, and Travis Stork will not be returning. This season will have the focus of helping people deal with the times we’re living in at the moment.
More about season 13 of the daytime series was revealed in a press release.

What do you think? Are you a fan of The Doctors? Will you watch the new season of this syndicated series next month? Will you miss the previous hosts?
My Mother and I loved the Doctors but we’re not thrilled with the new show. We find him to be a little bland. Sorry.
I tried and was shocked I just learned the whole cast is gone. I was wondering why I didnt see Doctor Stork . I am very upset in a time when we need the cast the most you yank them away. I dont like the new show or format. The original for me thru very dark tines and they all became
like family to us fans
PLEASE bring back Dr. Ordan, Dr. Travis etc!!! I watched them often and got great advice and information and LAUGHS which were much appreciated. I’ve tried watching the new format several times and just can’t get into it so I’ve stopped recording. Horrible idea to do what they did. Very upset and disappointing. Why stop a good thing?!?!
Will not be watching
I watched The Doctors tv show often. I have tried the new format a couple of times but could not get interested. I really miss the old format. It was always informative and entertaining. The new format is just boring.
I want the old team back! I miss their banter, humour and different topics. Not interested in this new format at all and will not watch.
WE CAN ONLY WAIT AND HOPE THE DOCTORS WE KNOW AND LOVE WILL RETURN ! This “Take Your Power Back” format took away our power, is lacking in entertainment and we can only wait patiently for the inevitable return of Dr. Stork and gang after their short absence. What are the McGraws thinking? Dr Phil, you should be ashamed and embarrassed as, your son doesn’t have a clue what women REALLY want.
We are just devastated at loosing our very favorite Drs show? Why did you cancel it…….. If you are doing a new show will it be the same time and same Drs on it?
I am very disappointed with the new format. I have nothing against Dr. Ian Smith, but the other format was much more interesting. It will no longer be one of my favorite shows.
I have been watching the show for many years I am very disappointed with what has happened and I would prefer the original cast be brought back and if not I feel like you’re going to lose a lot of viewers me for certain I do not like the new show nothing wrong with the guy but it’s just not the same and you’re not learning as much And if you can’t bring back the original cast just go ahead and cancel the show as my grandma used to say you don’t fix something that’s not broken and I know… Read more »
I tried to watch the new format and had to quit. JAY MCGRAW missed the mark on this decision. I would venture to say this is probably their last season based on everyone else’s comments. So sad! They had a GREAT show with all the commoradery between the doctors on the panel with Dr. Stork. Now it is just plain boring.
I don’t like the new doctors TV show and I won’t be watching it anymore the original format was much better than this new show sucks and I’m no longer interested in watching the doctors TV show ever again.
I have been watching the new format of The Doctors. You have taken what was one of the best shows on TV and made it is just OK. I am not enjoying the new format nearly as much as the old one. I will be finding a new show to watch. I am sorry you ruined it.
Yall ruint the show none of my family watch it anymore. All my favorite people are gone especially Travis. Why ruin a good show?

I am disappointed in the change made to the popular show, The Doctors. It’s extremely boring and I no longer tune in to watch it. The change for whatever reason, was very bad!
