Answer:

No, the double quotation marks are unnecessary.

Step-by-step explanation:

The citation on certain systems of citation is actually fine, and well constructed, the main problem is that it has more quotation marks than needed for example the quotation mark befor Dr, should actually go before "Literature...." because it is what Dr. Leonard McCreadie stated, and the page is correct on the citation.
