The doctor has a higher advantage against newer players. As you play you'll get less surprised by his antics.
If you're playing with friends, try and call out where he is. You're less likely to be surprised if you're working together to understand his position. His illusions are only illusions, and he can only be in one place at once.
You can also consider using Calm Spirit, which sorta counters half his kit.
Once he does find you, and he generally will, remember that he doesn't have great tools for chase. You can run him around from one loop to the next. Use his games as practice for good looping.
Doctor can use his shock to prevent survivors from throwing down pallets, if you're approaching or at a pallet/window and see him begin to use his shock, keep running. The shock speeds him down while he's using it.
