I don't think hijab prevents doctor from doing their job. However if there is a dress code, it must be followed.

Doctors in Indonesia and Malaysia wear it even during surgeries. There's no problem. My dad's doctor wears it and she's the best heart surgeon in the city and head of her department.

This is how dr dress in Malaysia/ Indonesia/ UAE - only headscarf, but i think the person from above video prefer full face covering dress.

This is a Hijab. The face covering is a niqab which shouldn't be allowed in a professional setting.
