Doctor is rich but arrogant (9)
I believe the answer is:
hubristic
'arrogant' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'doctor is rich but' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'is'+'rich'+'but'='isrichbut'
'isrichbut' with letters rearranged gives 'HUBRISTIC'.
(Other definitions for hubristic that I've seen before include "arrogant" , "Excessively proud" .)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
