All it says is "know personally." By which I believe they mean "has seen you in physical form and has reason to believe that you are who you say you are."
I don't expect that your doctor should be able to recognize you on the street, but if you have been seeing him professionally for more than two years and bring a passport application to him at his office, possibly in the course of a regular appointment, then he does know you personally.
