A PhD Doctor, NOT a Medical Doctor

In the evening, the council of my estate had a meeting with LTA with regards to the new Napier MRT station that would be built near our estate. As a committee member of the council, I attended the meeting. After the meeting, the LTA personnel asked me if I am working at Gleneagles Hospital. I clarified that I am a PhD doctor, not a medical doctor. 
I guess people automatically assume that I am a medical doctor when they hear the Dr salutation in front of my surname. I wonder how many more such clarifications I have to make for the rest of my life lol.
