The while statement at the top says to continue as long as variable Found is 0. After the fscanf() it checks if the doctor's name is the one it is looking for. If it is, then it sets Found to 1. That will make the entire while loop stop.

If you want to read all the records for that doctor, then you need a little more checks. After the first record for the doctor is read, the program needs to continue reading records until the doctors name changes to something else. Something like this pseudocode

start of infinite loop
    read a record
    does it contain the doctor's name that we want
    no, then  go back to top of infinite loop
    while doctor's name is the one we want
        print data
        read another record
    end while
end infinite loop
