As the wife of a doctor, I can tell you the a sincere card means so much. My husband gets just a couple a year and when the patient or family of the patient take the time to write a paragraph about how much the level of care meant to them, my husband is truly moved and feels appreciated.

Plaque with tefilas harofeh. You can even get it engraved with the doctor's name

I will give a handwritten note but also want to present him with a gift.
What type of gifts has he received that were appreciated? Can I give something for the shabbos table or is it too personal an a gift for his wife more than for him?

The frum doctors I've used all have tefillat harofeh. I am also the wife of a physician. He's been given ties, a really nice holder for professional cards (on his desk), a small crystal bowl, Amazon gift cards, Barnes and Noble gift cards, really good marzipan (he loves it), and a fancy dreydl.

I'm the amother who mentioned the note....His patients are generally not well off. A nice heartfelt note is all he's ever gotten til last week when someone sent a few bottles of kosher wine.

He doesn't need a gift card so the note means much more to him, know what I mean?

I know you want to give an actual gift so maybe it's different by you. Where I live it would be out of place. The donation is a nice idea though.

I have given in the past a challah cover, challah tray, wooden wine box and personalized an expensive wine with his name (Engraved on bottle) I always write a few heartwarming words of gratitude.

Engraved name is a bit tacky... he may be embarrassed to use.
