You HAD BETTER GO to the doctor.
There are two unspoken implications in this statement.
1: The first implication..
The use of 'BETTER' here implies a choice of 2 options.
Choice 1 is to 'Do nothing'
Choice 2 is to 'Go to the doctor'
.. so, when you make your choice, it is BETTER that you choose to go to a doctor.
2: The second implication..
If you do not go to the doctor ,something bad will happen to you, and you will regret it.
This phrase is spoken in the present as though the speaker is in the future talking about a past event.
This is why 'HAD' is valid here..

(Or, you could simply say "You SHOULD GO to the doctor.")

Yes, I agree with Eugenia. I would also pick had better, since in the sentence they are giving advice
