When looking at the qualities you want in your doctor you need to consider what each one does for you. Is he or she willing to listen and tell you honestly your situation? Will they take the time to answer all of your questions and make sure that you understand all aspects of your treatment? Is your doctor patient care oriented? These are just a few things you should be looking for if you are choosing the qualities you want in your doctor.
If you have a long term health concern, you may be more concerned with the bedside manner of your doctor. It would be best if your doctor was friendly and well spoken. Is your doctor courteous to you? You do not want to have to feel like your doctor is not listening or taking your concerns into account. Do they make you feel rushed or like your concerns don’t matter? You should always feel like your doctor is on your side and will help you choose the best treatments for your health needs. Often it is necessary to see a locum doctor and despite these doctors being temporary, they should still practice the same level of professional care as your regular family doctor.
