I was reading literature and reading websites about becoming an airline pilot, and one website mentioned that there are a few pilots flying for United Airlines, for example, that also happened to be doctors, dentists, and accountants.

I am wondering how they are able to do this. Do they only fly part time? Are they doctors part time? How does this work?

Never heard of a part-time airline pilot, although I'm not going to deny they exist. But there are plenty of other part-time pilots, especially in general aviation. Instructors, for example, or aerial photography pilots, who fly at the weekend while holding down a day-job during the week.
