Does a recommendation letter from a doctor look good?

I volunteer at the hospital and I have become very close with some doctors and nurses. One doctor has even asked if I wanted a recommendation letter from him. On the Common Application for Stanford, we are allowed one option "Other Recommender’ and I have decided to get it from the doctor I work with at the hospital. I believe it will be a strong application because he has seen my work ethic and passion for medicine. Will using my optional recommendation for a doctor look better than, say, asking my mom or dad (which is allowed too)?
