Yes, if you paid with a credit card in 2019, you can count the medical expenses on your 2019 tax return.

Hi.  Can I claim the medical expense in 2019 if I paid the doctor by credit card in December 2018 and paid the credit card in January 2019?

If you paid with a credit card in 2018, you count the medical expenses on your 2018 tax return.  You borrowed money from the credit card company and that borrowed money paid the doctor.  When you paid the borrowed money back doesn't matter.
