Hi @charlesr

In that case, you need extra parameters to query the doctors like this:

$doctors = get_posts(array(
    'post_type' => 'doctor',
    'meta_query' => array(
        'relation' => 'AND',
        array(
            'key' => 'location', // name of custom field
            'value' => '"' . get_the_ID() . '"', // matches exaclty "123", not just 123. This prevents a match for "1234"
            'compare' => 'LIKE'
        ),
        array(
            'key' => 'gender', 
            'value' => 'male', 
            'compare' => 'LIKE'
        )
    )
));

If you want the radio button to act like a filter, please take a look at this page to learn more about filtering posts with ACF: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/creating-wp-archive-custom-field-filter/

I hope this helps 🙂
