Nope. Doesn't matter to me, CT. Bedside manner does, though....a great deal! So does making me wait an excessive amount of time. Just because they are doctors doesn't mean they can't be fired. There are 100 more just like them I can go to. +5

We have both and I usually didnt mind until a Staff grade Psychiatrist (Nick)I used to work with went into general practice.MY general practice.
I told him he would only see me if it was an ingrowing toe nail or a sore throat, nothing requiring rubber gloves.
I had a Myelogram which involved injecting dye into the base of my spine.I was extremely ill on discharge and the doctor was called. As he was let in, he yelled up the stairs saying OK, what have you been up to now. Yes it was Nick.
I was in a complete panic as I couldnt remember what knickers I had put on or if I had any on at all.LOL
(It didnt help that he was very dishy.)

My family physician is a woman. I prefer a as I feel more comfortable and also better understood as far as female health issue.
by Zack on November 21st, 2009
My primary care doctor is male. The doctor that prescribes my crazy pills is a nice hot Filipino woman. Both are pretty cool people and it would not make a difference what their gender is.

For "General" stuff I don't care. For the "female exam" I'd prefer a woman. +5

This is one of those questions for people with health care right?

I wouldn't care if it was an Alien if I could only get one. We have a bit of a shortage.

I don't want to see any doctor ever.

Male. Hey, how else can an ol'married woman cop a feel from another male?
by Ice man on November 21st, 2009
I've had both. I felt easier talking to the males, but I think the females were a little more thorough for some reason. :) +5
by Sid on November 21st, 2009
I don't really have a doctor, the medical centre I'm with just gives you whoever is avaliable. I prefer to get someone of the opposite gender because I'd rather have a woman touching my body than a man if I have a choice. I know that they are just doing their job but I feel uncomfortable with a man touching my naked skin, unless it's just my shoulders or arms or something.

My doctor is a woman and my wife's doctor is a man.

male and i dont mind who tells me to lose weight and stop drinking ..hic!
by WilAtHart is DONE on November 21st, 2009
doesnt matter to me. our practice has multiple doctors, so if we have a preference we just ask.
by dumdum on November 21st, 2009
Don't much care - have seen both. +5
by Mister_Bromide on December 18th, 2010
I prefer to see one that speaks English, although that's becoming harder and harder.

I am a woman and I prefer to see male doctors. I don't know why, I feel like they are less judgemental and more professional. That might be unfair, i'm sure there are lots of good female doctors, but that's just the experience i've had.
by More2Be on February 17th, 2010
I am male and of an age in which physical exams involve a certain quick probe for a quick evaluation of prostate health. So far both my physical exams have been done by one of the women doctors of the physicians group. Fortunately, the women have the smaller fingers.
Outside of that I do not see what difference it makes.
by pepsimax on January 2nd, 2010
I'm a girl and sometimes having the same gender dr is much better for me howevrer, when it comes to yuor health, i wudn't mind going to a male dr.
by Ironhead on November 22nd, 2009
My Doctor is male but I do not care about their gender. I use to have a female Doctor and I wish she was back...I am due a prostrate check soon....and she had such petite little fingers.
by good1 on November 22nd, 2009
I prefer to see doctors of the same gender, although I do have a male dentist and a male dermatologist. All the others are female.
by -Icy- on November 22nd, 2009
+5 all of mine are men. i used to have a lady internist that was awesome she left the medical profession to go through law school. now she helps drs fight phony law suits and is racking up ! she loves her new career that uses both of her degrees.

I care about competence not gender. +4
by PrivateGomerSpooner on November 22nd, 2009
My doctor is male but I've been to female doctors aswell. It makes no difference to me.
by Sarah M on November 22nd, 2009
My Doctor is a female. I'm not comfortable with doctors in general and male doctors even less so.
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on November 22nd, 2009
I currently have three for different reasons...two male and one female. Through the years there have been both male and female doctors and I see no difference. Some women prefer women doctors because they say they get "hit on" by men. I never have so I can't speak to that problem! :)
by A chillin buttercup on November 22nd, 2009
I would prefer a woman, especially where nudity is called for!
by CatLover-The Original is Proudly Canadian on November 21st, 2009
I have always had a male doctor except for the last couple of years. Being a middle aged woman I am finding that I can relate much better to a female doctor.
by N I C K on November 21st, 2009
Male only for me. I wouldn't feel comfortable with a female doctor. I would be worried about possibly getting an erection.
by Timjon on November 21st, 2009
It doesn't matter what gender they are to me. And I don't mind undressing for either gender as well. As long as they are experts and professional in their field, the issue is mute to me.
by Tveg on November 21st, 2009
Definitely same gender! For flight physicals I always hoped the nurse taking my blood pressure didn't show any cleavage, and wasn't attractive in my eyes. I actually had to struggle to close my eyes a few times as my BP and heart rate climbed quite rapidly. I would be quite fearful of a different type of um "problem" presenting itself if I had a female doctor and was being examined more in depth. Sometimes testosterone can be so difficult to deal with!
by Phil wonders where everyone is??? on November 21st, 2009
The things I look for is a good bedside manner and Qualifications when i go do an Interview, if a Woman Doc lets her collar open a little it's a Bonus!!!
The Wife and I have the same Woman Doc and the Wife loves it because the Joke is the Doc checks me to make sure everything works, sometimes doing a House Call...
by SmallTownCelebrity on November 21st, 2009
Makes me no difference, I avoid Dr's of any gender. It seems like there aren't many female Dr's.
by Anonymous on November 21st, 2009
I don't really mind.
I'd probably find a female easier to talk to.

by Randy D on November 21st, 2009
I'm male, my general practioner is female, and I see 2 specialists, both female. Part of the reason I selected these particular professionals was becasue the were females.
My dentist and orthodonist (sp?) are both male; if I had had my preference, I would have selected competent females for those positions, also.
by Thriftymaid on November 21st, 2009
It doesn't matter to me
by keep_on_dancing_to_the_tune_of_life on November 21st, 2009
Any gender will do, either male or female. . . for you'll be surely become a part of their topic when they are out with friends to share some box of pizza. .
by AnonymousGirl on December 16th, 2010
My Doctor is male and I prefer seeing him because I know him and I trust him. He doesn't waste my time or his when I'm in his office.
by staffie on December 16th, 2010
I see both and i dont really mind which it is they are both there to do a job
by dazed on December 16th, 2010
I generally have a male doctor and he has been so caring and quick to help me with my depression and migraines.I prefer talking to a woman about female stuff though; I honestly have not found the males so helpful so far.
by suzanmitchel on December 16th, 2010
I prefer male doctors though I cannot explain why.
by DA BEN DAN yanggui zi on December 16th, 2010
I have a gay male doctor which makes it much easier for me. But I would see any doctor in a pinch:)
by Shania on December 16th, 2010
I prefer males.
by Anonymous on December 18th, 2010
I prefer female doctors when it has to do with any 'girly parts" :) but other than that I don't really care if it they are male or female. I know they are professionals but i would still feel uncomfortable.
by ConservativelyLiberal on December 16th, 2010
If someone will be sticking their finger up my anus or cupping my balls, you're damned right they're going to of the opposite sex.
by Zack on December 16th, 2010
My doctor is a 50ish Caucasian male.
