If you went to see a doctor to get something looked at would you prefer a doctor that was the same gender as you?

It doesn't matter. Maybe I'm slightly more embarrassed if it's a 'down there' problem but what would matter is that they listened properly, had some compassion and most importantly could fix the problem. 😊

It usually doesn't matter but I prefer my gyno doctor to be a man because women are terribly insensitive. I thought it was just my experience but I saw several comments from other women confirming it. A young male doctor is a win because he's trying to not mess up and isn't yet jaded.

No. My last two primary care docs have been female. My wife's ob/gyn is male. Race is not an issue, either.

We prefer women doctors. This might not be the case now, but back in the day, women had to work harder to accomplish the same titles as men doctors.

no preference, sometimes a bit uncomfortable , know most of the doctors in our area

doesn't matter to me....i just wish i could get a family doctor. next to impossible to get one in my part of canada......even a walk in clinic ffs

Yes, although they're often just as bad ego-wise. Just don't want a male doc
