3,4,5 are correct.
6 is incorrect. Singular 'doctor' does not go with 'are'.
1,2,7 are probably grammatically correct, but we don't normally use 'mine' with people. You could say 'that is my doctor', but not 'that doctor is mine'. The first means 'that is the doctor that I visit'. The second means 'that is the doctor that I own'.
The only exceptions to that are when you are referring to someone very close, like your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife, or possibly if you control them in some way.

1, 2, 3, 8, and 9)
These are comma splices. They are each two independent clauses connected by a comma. You need to replace the comma with a coordinating conjunction or semicolon. You can also say, "It is a pen, my pen", where "my pen" is an appositive. And you can do the same for the other 2.
6, 7, 10, and 11 are all correct.
