Mister - also written as Mr. - goes before a Man's name. You call someone Doctor at the Hospital or when speaking to a Scientist. You would never say "Mister Doctor", however.
"Mister (Mr.) Smith, the Doctor will see you now!"
"Hello Doctor Jones. My throat hurts today.".

It's a joke from the Dr. Strange movie! The bad guy, Kaecilius, encounters Doctor Strange for the first time and doesn't know his name. So he asks, "Mister...?" expecting Dr. Strange to respond with his name. Dr. Strange tries to correct the honorific by replying, "Doctor." Kaecilius misinterprets the correction and thinks that Dr. Strange's name is "Mister Doctor" which is why he responds with, "Mister Doctor?" because it's an odd name. Dr. Strange tries to correct him again, "It's Strange." which Kaecilius again misinterprets. He thinks that Dr. Strange is admitting that he has an odd name. So Kaecilius replies, "Maybe, who am I to judge?" because he himself is an odd looking guy.
