One that takes the time to listen and really acts like they care. A doctor that doesn't ask many question upsets me. I know they are very busy and stressed but I like to feel like that are caring.

I certainly hope you turn out to be one of the better doctors.
I currently have a female doctor who I love and cherish. I've only been seeing her for about a year now and she is a combination on everything you could ever dream possible of a perfect doctor in any respect. I have had seen doctors from all over the world and this perfect lady is from India. At one time I had made the comment that I'd never have a female doctor and today..... I wouldn't trade my doctor for anyone else. She not only knows what she is doing but provides the confidence to her patients as well as any medication she prescribes. She not only talks but listens just as well, something that most doctors don't do. She is a very caring person which most of my other doctors seemed to be interested in one thing.... how much money they could put in their pockets and get you out of their office as quick as they can.
I wish you much luck in your field and hope you turn out like the doctor I have.

First off, I applaud you on your achievements and determination :-) I think a good doctor is someone with an excellent bedside manner, someone who takes their time and really listens to their patients, and a doctor that is willing to work with you..I don't have health insurance, so I am self-pay, my doctor lets me make payments if I need to instead of paying all at once, and she gives me free samples of my medication when she has them. The only complaint I have about doctors has to do with my son, I have a toddler and his first pediatrician did not seem like she cared at all, like he was just another number in her day of work, and she could care less what I had to say, she got us in and out as quick as possible, I am a first time mom and needed to feel more comfortable with my son's pediatrician and she just didn't do it for me...I changed pediatricians after 2 years of this bs. My best advice would be to always remember that these patients are coming to you--over all the others doctors available-- it's your job to make them feel as comfortable and appreciated as possible and you will get the same back in return :-)

Okay I am in my way too... so what makes a good doctor?
The relationships with its patients. Take the problem as your own, and relate to the person.
When the patient tell you something (either medical or personal) don't forget it, this is very upsetting.
Work on your interpersonal skills, dealing with people is HARD. A smile should be always on your face and personal problems should stay at home.

Honestly, I don't like or trust quacks. In my experience they are all lying, conniving toads. And were it not for the fact that we need them to get prescriptions, I'd sooner go talk to a chemist and sort things out myself than rely on any of them.
Nothing personal, of course. But you did ask.
If you want to be better than the quacks and witch doctors I have come across, tell the truth once a day.
That's all you'll need to do to stand head and shoulders above the bunch of overpaid tossers I've met.

Good doctors listen to their patients, ask questions, and pay attention to details in an effort to make an accurate diagnosis. When they find one illness, they continue the search, in case there are also other illnesses lurking in the patient.

Yes!
In Asia, doctors are sworn to oath, and that is to help and save lives,
But
Here in America, its all about profit (insurance payoff, brand supplements, medical scams etc.)
Great example I see:
Close to Dickson city, PA, in a small town clinic, I was the last patient and at about 5min to 5 PM (closing time, a husband carried a wife who is unconscious in begging for help... receptionist refused help even after I was giving up my appointment and told him to go to ER) I was mad, I left the clinic.
I would sue that clinic if anything happen to that lady should I be the husband.
