If it's as in Britain - and New Zealand is a Commonwealth country - then yes, people say, "I have an appointment with my GP."

  My copies of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories of Sherlock Holmes speak of Doctor Watson rather than GP Watson. Is this a Philosopher's Stone/Sorcerer's Stone situation where someone published an Americanized edition and that's what I have?

    No, I think it's because GP is a newish term.

    There’s a difference between “being a doctor” and “Dr Watson”. Nobody would ever say an academic is “a doctor”.
