you may only need one. it's not about how many consultants - it's about how many drafts it takes until it's ready.

You don't hire a script doctor, the studio does, as for a script consultant, you shouldn't need more than one.

Yup, a script doctor is someone hired by a movie studio or production company to rewrite an existing script; to “doctor it,” if you will. Whereas a script consultant primarily gives notes to screenwriters; they "consult” on ways to possibly improve one's script. Plus, I'd have to agree with those above: one consultant (usually). Don, here's an older thread in which this subject was discussed at length, perhaps it will be helpful to you: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting/Script-consultant-or-script.... Best to you! :)
Thank you everyone!
