Women: Prefer male or female doctors?

I prefer a female..I find them easier to talk to and it's more comfortable

Male

Female. Same parts that I have. She knows what I feel. Had a male doc once and he was painful. He squeezed my boobs till I cried

Generally I find more comfy with male docs!

Female for sure.

I am not female and so do not belong in this discussion.............but here I am. I am a believer in the GAS factor (give a sh..). If the Doctor or any other person does not have a GAS factor that is high thn there is no chance of going foward with a high degree of sucess. Gender is a personal thing, but the caregiver has to care.

My wife prefers female doctors. She has found them to generally be more compassionate.

I prefer female doctors. I like the gentle touch as they are doing better. I also think they listen better.

I dislike all doctors.. I mean sure, most of them mean well and want whats best for their patients but I guess I just wasnt born with the gene that makes some people automatically trust doctors.

I guess I prefer male doctors though, some, like my dentist were really nice and caring.. I mean I still felt like he was gonna murder me with the drill but he was nice and caring, unlike my female doctors who were pretty much "youre a big girl, stop making such a fuss".

I do not want to just say all women doctors are the same. Maybe I was just unlucky but I do not like being made to feel like I am being a nuisance just for being there or the friction and awkward silences that happen. I have liked male doctors and if I need to see a doctor I just prefer a male. I do not want it to be assumed that just because I am a girl I must want a female doctor. I just don't.

My current doctor is a man and I guess I have to say that I prefer a male doctor. In my opinion male doctors take female patients a bit more seriously than women doctors do. My pediatrician and one family doctor I had for a year were women, the other two family doctors were men. I found the men pay more attention than the women did.
