I was in a very similar situation! I thought it was misleading (especially because there was also one MD in the clinic, so it confused the clients). It's not legally wrong, but I maintain that it is confusing. I think it's better not to use it, be conservative--what's the harm in holding back? Wait a year or two, and when their position/license matches their degree, call them "Dr.".
