I have a male doctor for illnesses and such but a female when I need her yearly. I kinda lean towards having a female doctor because I'm more comfortable. Does it matter to you which one you have as long as they are good at what they do? I know alot of women that love their male doctors and men that have female doctors they see.

Yes, it does matter to me. Like you, I used to have two doctors, one male and one female. I got so comfortable with my female doctor that I now use her for everything. DH also uses the same doctor.

I prefer to have a female doctor. She seems to go in and get it done quickly, if you know what I mean. With male doctors I always hear, "Does that hurt? Let me know if I'm hurting you, etc". It always leaves me thinking, "Get It Done Already!"

I prefer having a female doctor.It's more comfortable to me to bring up female issues and more than likely has more of an idea of what it is i'm going thru.
My husband prefers a female as well. They also seem to listen better but maybe that's just a woman thing.lol

It's just me and my daughter and we have a family doctor that is a man. but since she has gotten older(17 now) she now See's her own doctor which is a woman.I can understand the comfort of this, not only for her but me to.My ex wife and sons see the same doctor as I do.

I do like female doctors better, but honestly: if I'm having problems I'll listen to the best doctor- man or woman, no problem!
