When dad was going through treatment he had appointments that fell directly on holidays (Valentines Day) or around holidays (Christmas).  They use to take in a big tin of cookies with a nice note attached.  They would do the same for the people at the valet parking area as well since they used their services every day.  Nothing big just a small token of their appreciation.  Had he not had appointments during the holidays I'm sure they would not have made a special trip over to take a tin of cookies as the hospital was an hour away from their home.
  Doctors certainly don't expect gifts from their patients, but I think if you felt so inclined to spread a little holiday cheer I would keep it simple.  JM2C.
