I don't know why. To me a Doctor is a Doctor, not male or female.
Being a 51 year old guy, I have no problem with a female doctor.
Do younger people have a problem ? I know a few of my older friends 80's + Just don't trust female doctors. They just want white old men doctors.

I prefer a woman doctor,especially when it's time for the woman check up. They understand what it's like going through that exam where as male doctors act like there working underneath the hood of a car. lol This is just my personal preference.

If you feel comfortable about your female doctor, then stick with her. There are many myths about the medical profession for older people. Many wont even go to any doctor because they dont want to hear the bad news.
Quite frankly I wouldnt trust any older doctors regardless of sex. They dont always have the up-to-date information needed to make some diagnosis.

you're going by skill of your limited journey (5 docs) and maybe very own biases. If a physician is brushing off you once you press for extra suggestions approximately their prepare of theory, she or he's the two no longer interior the habit of explaining themself to sufferers (that's unlucky) or would not think of you have the certainty or potential to comprehend their reasoning. actual, your explanation for no longer trusting lady docs is dazzling. lady docs have a popularity for spending extra time with their sufferers, and explaining in extra intensity to sufferers -- maybe partly because of the fact sufferers have been shown to break lady docs extra frequently.

personally I prefer female doctors, they are less disposed to take on the role of "god" in their practises. They tend to be much more willing to listen, and credit their patients with some intelligence unless the patient proves themselves ignorant.
I prefer working with them for many of the same reasons.

I don't know anyone who pays much attention to the gender of their doctors.
