Depends on when, where and your definitions. In most of Western Europe in
period, Galen was THE definitive physician. In 12th century Egypt and
Moorish Spain, the famed Jewish philosopher Moses ben Maimon (Maimonides,
aka the Rambam) was court physician for both the Caliph in Egypt (Mameluke?)
and the Moorish ruler of Spain.

> What about dieticians? 20th century invention :)?

Yes.
