consulting physician
I think "consulting physician" could work here if the target audience is the US. It would have the nuance of consulting the opinion of another doctor but would depend on context.
In British English a consultant has the meaning of "attending physician" (指導医) so you would have to use some discretion.

secondary physician

The secondary physician shall report to the primary treating physician in the manner required by the primary treating physician.’
Discussion
Is it possible for yo to provide more of the source text?
Seeing as you are trying to relate the term to the Japanese context could you avoid a direct translation and go with something like "second opinions were received from four doctors"
