If you want to list custom posts with of type “doctors”, then copy the file archive.php and rename it to archive-doctors.php. If the custom post type has archives enabled, you should then be able to see them at http://www.yoursite.com/doctors and it should use the same pagination functionality as other blog posts (meaning, same number of posts per page).

In essence, when you go to http://www.yoursite.com/%5Bcustom post type name]/, WordPress will look for a file with the name archive-[custom post type name].php and use that as the template.
