You could choose your family doctor or personal physician.
But there is no question of choosing a doctor where specialist treatment is required.
The doctor reccomended by the family doctor or the hospital to which we go will do the physical examinatin.
All we could do is to pray that the specialist is an expert.
Question of the gender of the specialist doctor does not come into consideration at all.

I'd rather have a woman stick her finger up my ass than a man.

Honestly I rather have a doctor the opposite sex. From all the doctors I have met the female doctors seem to be more professional. I feel the male doctors try to be overly compassionate toward their patients. Sometimes in order to do your best you have to put compassion aside.
by Sexyrabbit on October 20th, 2009
My doc is..:)
by Becky_J on June 14th, 2009
Yes, both my gyn and family doctor are men. I have no problem with either of them seeing or touching my nude body.
by sweetmichaelsweet on June 12th, 2009
yes i would rather have a female doctor because most of them will explan it better then a male doctor

I had a physical for the Army a month ago, the doctor was female and she was very professional. I would definitely go with the opposite sex again.
The only thing that I didn't feel comfortable with was the male who had to survey my physical. He just sat and watched me, very awkward.
by lovebettafish on April 9th, 2009
My doctor is a man, so yes I would and have chosen one of the opposite sex
by cunning stunt who u calling chicken on March 10th, 2009
I have a male ENT, a female Endo, a female gynie, a male GP....
If the physician is good, what does it matter if they are male or female?
Oh yeah, all of my physicians understand evolution, they would not allow a pharmacist to determine what drugs are morally unacceptable for me, and they do not preach to me about morality.
Healthcare should not be a pulpit for religious extremism.
by Zack on September 7th, 2008
Sure I would. Her being hot would be a distraction, but something I'd have to work through.
by Ben is a bit bored with the Internet on September 7th, 2008
Doesn't quite matter to me actually!
by --paw43--is back for now on September 7th, 2008
Actually my Doctor is a woman and she's absolutely brilliant!
by 007 plus Maverick equals Pure Awesome on September 7th, 2008
My opthamologist is a woman, and this does not bother me. Of course, it also doesn't hurt that she's a cutie.
by Anonymous on September 7th, 2008
My current doctor is of the opposite sex. It's no more awkward than one of the same sex, really.
by Miss Anubis loves this season on September 7th, 2008
No as my gyno, but my regular PCP is a guy and he's the best doctor I could have asked for.
by HuskyLove on September 7th, 2008
Sure! that would make my app. really fun!
by iDeath on November 26th, 2009
I have had both. I had surgery done by a great female doc at the VA in Pbgh and then had 2 different female docs in my area. One was great but too busy to see me when I wanted the second one couldn't be trusted with changing dog kennels. My opinion as a person who ended up with a viral infection. I actually prefer women for everything. Men are cocky and arrogant,(sometimes)
by Starbright on November 22nd, 2009
Doesn't really matter. When they look at both ends, they'll just yell twins anyway.
by jacinthemilton on October 21st, 2009
It doesn't matter if the doctor is in opposite sex..They do it professionally that's why I don't need to worry.
by Thriftymaid on October 20th, 2009
yeah, sure
by Fiddle Playing Creole Bastard on October 20th, 2009
Sure.
by oursong24 on October 20th, 2009
i would rather have a women doctor because they do not use those big words that you dont understand. they explain it to were you can understand it.

by Autism Knows is finally Maestro on April 9th, 2009
Sure, I have and I will again.
by . on April 9th, 2009
yes, i actually prefer male doctors, as they are more gentle than the women and seem to take their time to make sure everything is well for the patient....=)
women doctors are usually (not always) ruffer and aggressive... =/
by Bigcurt on April 7th, 2009
I would prefer a doctor of the oppisite sex
by Daks on March 11th, 2009
yeah sure..but one must be cute!
by Tanaa on March 10th, 2009
Yes my doctor already is the opposite sex
by Angel of Music on March 10th, 2009
Our GP is male and I like him and feel comfortable with him. But if I have to go for a trip to the gynecologist I will be more comfortable if a women examined me.
by qwerty on March 10th, 2009
if they were good yes
by NOYB on March 10th, 2009
I already have, been seeing her for about 14 years now.
by Sid on March 10th, 2009
I would prefer that actually.
by K-Kat on March 10th, 2009
Yes!I dont like female doctors touching me!
by Smile loves California on March 10th, 2009
I always want the most qualified or experienced in that particular field . . . no matter the sex.
by gracescotland on March 10th, 2009
It's probably weird but I'd rather have a doctor of the opposite sex.
by Zack on March 10th, 2009
Probably not, but if there were not any male doctors available, I would have no problem choosing a female doctor.
by secutor on March 10th, 2009
only a female
by Becky_J on December 27th, 2008
Yes. I'm female, but I go to males for both gynecology exams and regular stuff, including my yearly non gyn physical.
by Lovehearts on November 30th, 2008
My doctor is male, so yeah.
by Anonymous on September 29th, 2008
Yes. For some reason I don't see myself being molested by a female unless I want it to happen.
by Misplaced_Diamond on September 29th, 2008
Never
Males in general make me uncomfortable...
So I always see a female doctor
by Dr_Dredd on September 29th, 2008
I have no real preference, as long as the doctor is competent. For a while, I thought I would only want to see a female ob/gyn, but then I saw that the women can sometimes be more obnoxious (and catty) than the men!
Anyway, these days, there are so many more female ob/gyn docs that it's difficult to find a male one even if you want to.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on September 15th, 2008
Yes. The surgeon who operated on me last year is a female. Seems to me, female doctors are a bit more caring and friendlier than male doctors.
by Daniela_15 on September 15th, 2008
Depends for what i guess, but im mostly not fussed as long as the doctor no matter what gender is listening and caring, not just wanting to hear why im there and get rid of me, i hate those.
by Major Look at yerself on September 15th, 2008
Not as my doctor, no.
by dr james on September 15th, 2008
never... and when it happens i yell bloody murder till they change
by mrtoolman on September 15th, 2008
As a homophobic adult male, I feel very uncomfortable with a male doctor. I only have a female doctor. She's cute, but I'm not attracted to her. She's very professional and truthful towards me.
by needtoknow on September 8th, 2008
All my drs. except one are of he opposite sex.
by Drastic on September 8th, 2008
Sure. I've had several female doctors.
by curtdude on September 8th, 2008
Sure she would be a doctor as long as she is good at her profession and can help me why not

Yes, a better wording for the question would have been:
"Given a choice, would you prefer a doctor of the opposite sex?"
by palmagma on June 12th, 2009
This answer seems to be a duplicate
- probably because of a slow response from the server.
by palmagma on June 12th, 2009
You could reword the question and post it now!
.
I have gone through all the 51 answers that got posted this far. I find Zack's answer posted more than once. But not mine.
But I do find as discrepancy in dates. I posted the answer in 2008, I am sure, but the date against the answer shown here is April 9th, 2009.
by Suby the Coat on June 12th, 2009
The duplicate to this is Answer 49.
by palmagma on June 14th, 2009
I have located it now. It was posted in the aftermath of the AB site crash on 23rd March, when the glitches had not all been fixed by the 9th of April. Here the duplicate posting of answers has happened due to the AB glitches and not due to any intentional fault of my own. Please forgive me.
.
I took the liberty to go through your questions and answered one on flagging of duplicate answers. Please go through that and give me your comments there.
by Suby the Coat on June 14th, 2009
Have done. Many thanks.
