Anyone known if someone out there can mill a doctor sight mount onto the rear of the slide as seen on Glock's and 1911's?

You can get a Burris XD mount.

I know of that mount how ever it places the dot above the normal line of sight for the irons and I am looking around to see if anyone provides the service to machine the rear of my slide so that it mounts directly to it. I guess the XD just isn't as popular as the 1911 or Glocks yet

The top of the XD isn't wide enough to mill the posts into the slide. You would have to weld or solder a base onto the slide and then, you still don't gain much more than 3/16" because of the striker channel. The striker retention roll pin also can cause an issue if you make a permanent platform.
