I'm just pointing out that you can't refuse service to people based on their ethnic background or religious views. So how can you refuse it based on political philosophy?You can't turn someone down because of their skin color or religion.Are you sure about that?
A doctor can't refuse "emergency" care, but when a patient comes to his office for routine appointments, my understanding is that he is not under any obligation to provide services.

So, we are back to the argument that everyone has to do business with everyone else simply because of racism?
Personally, I would not refuse to serve a client that I didn't agree with, but I respect the right of a doctor, a photographer, a lawyer, a plumber, a bartender, a mechanic etc. to chose whom he will take on as a customer.
Personally, even though I oppose HCR, if that were my doctor and I came to his office for an appointment, I would immediately inform him, that I would be seeking a new doctor. It is in my opinion, inappropriate to do what he did. However, I still respect his right to have done so.

Not that I'd consider going near this idiot doctor.
