Does Dr. means PH.D or doctor?
I received a message from a foreigner, in which the signature is DR. ###. Can anybody explain? Thanks.

It can mean either, so it's ambiguous. An unambiguous way of indicating that you're a medical doctor is <name> MD.

Hi Alice, in the United States, the title "Dr." before a name is used to refer to both medical doctors (who usually have a "Medical Doctor" degree, or MD) and PhDs (who have "Doctor of Philosophy" degrees). It can also be used for people who have other doctoral-level degrees, such as DOs, EdDs, etc.
