How do you find a good looking real doctor?

Back home most doctors' offices have websites with bios of all the docs working there, usually with head and shoulders pics of the docs. Here that's rare 😢

Friends and colleagues don't (as far as I know) share my medical fascinations so I don't feel I can ask them to describe what their doc looks like. My day to day life doesn't put me in contact with any docs so other than taking the pot luck approach and hitting every doc's office in town with random ailments is there an easy way??

Why don't you find a good looking play doc.

They are rare where I live in the Middle East 😢

Surely you're not suggesting making up random symptoms and visiting various doctors to discover whether you find them attractive? That would be wasting the time of a medical professional who might well be needed on a genuine case.

As caz says, look for a good looking playdoc if that's what you need to fulfill your desire.

Even if playdocs are rare in your location it's still not the right thing to waste the time of a real doctor in my opinion.

If you're talking about finding a good real doctor, that takes time. In my case, I go for a full physical exam once each year, since that's still considered a normal frequency (based on my age and health history). When I felt it was time to find a new doctor (didn't like the old one anymore, or more often, my insurance plans changed and they were no longer in network), I usually used the full physical exam as a way to do that. I would schedule my next full exam with the new doctor and use that as a gauge to see if I liked them, if I could develop a rapport with them, if they seemed thorough enough, etc. I also use that opportunity to see how well their office staff seems to work (or not). On more than one occasion, I've liked the doctor but ended up leaving because I couldn't take the inept and completely incompetent office staff!

Now, using my way of doing things, if you try a new doctor and don't like them, you've got to wait another year before you can switch -- unless you want to forego the complete physical when switching to a new doctor. But a lot of doctors seem to prefer or require something like a physical for new patients. Yes, this takes time, but I usually find one that I like within one or two switches. Anything thing you can do is to just go and interview different doctors. Some practices allow you to book a short appointment with the prospective doctor, just to meet them in advance and have a short talk with them. That's also a possibility of helping you to find the right doctor for you. But, I wouldn't invent symptoms in order to try out different doctors. I don't think that will help you find the right doctor.

I don't want to make up symptoms but I might just have to go to someone random every time I get a sore throat / cold etc.

That would depend on who is paying for the doctor's visit. You can argue of course that a doctor's time is always precious and can be put to better use, but not all doctors in all parts of the world have a full plate. And if you pay for the consult on your own, even if it is just to check him out, you're just helping the doc make a living ...

Now if docs were to get paid by a national health insurance, then that's a different situation ... but from I make of the initial post, it doesn't sound so ... though I can't say to know how anything works in the UAE.

I would be paying the first $20 or so, the insurance co would pay the rest. I think I'll just have to consult a new doc every time I'm not feeling 100%. Usually I just visit for annual physicals, travel jabs or more serious concerns. No harm turning with a cold, backache etc. I don't get the impression most of them are rushed off their feet.

I've had 'ordinary' male and female doctors look after me through my life, and would never visit one if I was not really ill or had what I thought was a problem or sickness. My first doctor was my mother's family doctor, who had no time for anyone and kept looking at his watch when you were talking to him. For me, very unattractive. When old enough, I changed doctor straightaway.

I've since changed surgeries/doctors a couple of times due to moving house/job location etc..

I'm very lucky to now have a male doctor that I find attractive, so in a strange way, I enjoy my infrequent visits to him.

I would certainly be very happy to meet him socially if our circumstances were different, but as things are, it would be very unprofessional and ill advised to do so for both of us.

I would never make up false synptoms or reasons to waste his or any doctors' time, because they are professional people and their time is precious and valuable.

When I see him, it is because I am really sick etc.

Having said that, I am happy to be in his surgery when ill!

I always study the qualifications of a dr. first, because I prefer a really competent dr. to a good looking one as a priority, but if both, that's a real plus.

I went to an optometrist once by chance that was really good looking, and I got a hardon as he was just examining my eyes.

I almost fell out of the chair when he walked in. I was in college at the time, had something in my eye I couldn't get out, it was a one time visit. ... but I still recall today how good looking he was and the intimacy of him having to stare and stare into my eyes, as he gave to me a complete eye exam. I must have looked like a puppy in love! LOL!

My regular doctor was unavailable and my husband made an appointment for me at a different clinic when I had the flu

The doctor was amazingly gorgeous, I felt inadequate for not being in full makeup and stylish dress.

It really surprised me and I could not get out of there fast enough

Im a little stumped by this inquiry. what difference does it make if the doctor is good looking ? You planning on dating them ? Doesn't the thrill come in being the subject of their attention ?

In the US, there are multiple doctor search web sites. Most have pictures. They also have IMPORTANT information, such as specialty, location, insurance information, patient reviews and malpractice data.

I prefer not knowing what a doctor looks like until he comes into the exam room to perform my physical. This adds to the anxiety I feel and the excitement I get from thinking about the experience after the fact. I find it extremely humiliating to have no knowledge of the examiner prior to having him see me stripped down to my briefs ready to obey his commands and submit to the physical. I have always gotten middle aged, unattractive, professionally attired doctors. They have had little personality and very clinical approaches to the exam experience. It gives me the felling of being just a subject for inspection and examination rather than a complete individual.

Maybe you should try and imagine the situation in a country like the UAE, where I'm assuming life is very much different from what we know in the US or the EU. What can you do for fun? What is there to do in the first place anyway? From all that I've read about the region, life is slow and languid, there is never much rush about things and there are fewer opportunities to alleviate the innate boredom of things. For some people that can mean a turn inwards, towards a rekindling of a fantasy life of re-imagining things as a way to simply add some spark to everyday occurrences ...

I know when I'm away from home and all the wonderful and varied opportunities to busy myself with a myriad of concrete things, then you can either give in to boredom and hope that time passes ... or you follow your imaginings and enlarge, build and fantasize upon what you do experience ...

I understood this post to be about a way of finding a way to scratch a medfet itch in a country with very limited opportunities of experiencing much of anything fun ... why not see if you can optimize a doctor's consult into something just a bit more fun?

Some valid points made here, especially exam doc's comments about not knowing who will walk in. I just don't want that doc to be really unattractive.

Agracier you are way way off the mark inferring that the UAE / Dubai is a dull little backwater with very nothing to do. You've clearly not visited (in the last 20 years) or there is no chance you would never have said that. It is however true that opportunities for play exams are pretty limited 😢

I don't know, there is something very embarrassing to me about having an ugly, nerdy, doctor with no personality giving me orders, getting to see my private parts, and probe my anus. I am not looking for a relationship, just a thoroughly embarrassing experience.

Being male I don't really care what my Dr looks like. I want them to be competent and above all listen. If I don't trust them I don't see them again. Being one of the beautiful people has nothing to do with my health care.

I found my doctor by a referral from a friend. I wanted a doctor closer to my age and one who would take care of me.

Ive asked this before on here and the voy boards but don't get responses. As a young bi male I want to find a good looking dr under 35, preferably gay and feminine if male and good looking under 40 if female, and with cute young nurses, who will be old fashioned and thorough, such as having you undress without offering you a gown, doing a rectal exam etc. I want to re-create my pediatrician exams as close as possible. I don't know why people are afraid to give names and locations even if they send a message privately and their own real name is not shown here. Do they really think the dr is going to find out and know who recommended them?

Almost all doctors these days have websites with pictures. Granted, some of those pics may be old pics, but you do get an idea of what they look like. First and foremost I want competancy, but if they are looking at you naked, it sure is better if you are not totally turned off by their looks and manners.

I would tend to agree with jhenson16's thinking. Would you seriously want to gamble with your life in the hands of some incompetent Dr. Dullard just because he/she is one of the beautiful people?

I too agree with jhenson, and you as well turkent. Qualifications, mannerisms, professionalism and at times other people's views of the doctor speak volumes to me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but with medical issues, who cares, I certainly do not.

@ Elizabeth2010,

I completely agree with you! I would say it also applies to techs, assistants, nurses etc. Knowing what a new provider etc looks like can ease nerves, fears, apprehension and can be a good icebreaker for familiarity beforehand. I am not there to get my kinks, get a date, strike up a dating relationship. I am there for my health. I am one who also reads body language, paraverbal and nonverbal body language and take all that into account over whether they are good looking. I do however notice if their clothes are clean, not wrinkled within reason of clothes and labcoats etc being worn in a day, nail and hair hygiene, body odor, the tidiness and cleanliness of the facility and rooms as well as equipment etc.
