Is it against US law for a Family member to be another family member’s doctor?

Rebecca asked:
My dad is a doctor, but I remember when I was a kid- on all the official papers he put a friend of his who was also a doctor as my official physician and would have his friend sign everything even though it was my dad who did all the treatments and shots and things. Did he do this because he wasn’t legally allowed to be my doctor? What about other family members? I know of a plastic surgeon who did all the plastic surgery for his wife.
