How to Address A Condolence to A Dr.'s Wife
Q.
How do I address a sympathy card to a doctor and his wife when it is the wife's mother who just passed? Somehow it doesn't seem proper not to address it to the wife but I don't want to disrespect the doctor either. Thank you.

You would address the sympathy card to the blood relative. In this case you would address it to the doctor’s wife. For instance Mrs. John L. Evans (their address). However, inside the card you would write in closing: “Kindest regards to you and John (or Dr. Evans),” before signing your name.
