My doctor is not only male, he's also gay. I'm happy to have him. - Derrick

I don't care. As long as he/she is a good doctor, the sex doesn't matter to me. - Holger Eilhard

I prefer having a female doctor. I'm just more comfortable with women in general. - josh neff, geek at large

Dentists have always been male, every other doctor I've ever seen has been female. - pea

No preference... but historically, I've liked my male doctors more. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)

does not matter as long as they know what they are doing................... - VAL D. Zone

I've never had a female doc. Not by choice, it's just kinda worked out that way. - suzanne from iPhone

I think my preference for femal doctors started when I went to a male OBGYN who called me into his office (after the exam), slapped a bible on his desk and laid a prepared sermon on me about the sins of premarital sex. - Shannon

Like many guys, I've had the fantasies about the hot nurses and female doctors, but in all seriousness, I really don't care what sex the doctor is as long as they do a good job - Ian May

I would rather have a female doctor so that when I need to "turn my head and cough" it would brighten that day - Outsanity

Ive had all male dr's all my life .. and recently had to switch to a female Dr .. she's great ... - johnpiercy

I've only had four doctors all my life actually. All male. The first and third are dead now. The second one got struck off. - Ian May

Aw man, I read this as "I prefer a sex doctor." The regular kind doesn't seem as fun, no matter what their sexuality is. - Noah Belson

I don't really care as long as it's a good doctor. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

I ultimately want a good doctor, but I must say that I really like my current doctor (who happens to be female). It's nice when the doctor knows first-hand what it's like to deal with the speculum. - Katy S

@Shannon - That is AWFUL! I hope you let him know what you thought of that "treatment". Geeze. I prefer female OBGyn because I had a bad experience with the male one I had when I was pregnant. I am currently in need of a GP but my last one was male and I really liked him (he moved his office across town though so I had to quit seeing him). I would probably pick a woman if I have to choose one out of the insurance directory, but I'll take either for a GP if they have a good recommendation. - Lindsay is in 20-ten

I'm just happy to have a doctor that will stay at my surgery for more than a few months. Seems every time I get a decent doctor and they get to know me and my particular foibles, they up and move to a different practice. I'm beginning to get a complex :-) - Slappy Line

I like having a female doctor, my only problem is that I find it hard to discuss certain things with her. Fortunately I can book appointments with one of the male doctors at her office if need be, yay socialized healthcare! - Chris, Without Direction

Having lived with both tax-based, and insurance-based healthcare, I know which one I've been most happy with, both for me and my family - Ian May

I'd prefer a female GYN as she would be more likely to understand how things "feel" down there. I have a male GP who is as young as my Kid and I think he's great because he's one of the new school who acts as a partner to the patient, not an authority figure. And he is going to outlast me, I hope, and not move on to a fancier practice. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

The last female OBGYN I had wore an engagement ring the size of a golf ball. She double gloved that hand but it still wasn't particularly... Comfortable =/ - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I have no preference. A female gynecologist once told me my periods were bad because I am a redhead. Several years later I saw a male doc for the same symptoms. He immediately suspected endometriosis, a condition that could be improved with surgery, he operated and my life improved drastically. Male, female, I don't care if they are competent. - Heather Solos

Guy doctors. Female doctors are evil. </hyperbole> - Admiral Anika

I don't think I would care, but I've only ever had a male doc so can't really say for sure. - Kenton

I've always had male Internists for doctors but the majority of my Ob Gyns have been female. Kind of prefer it that way. - Bonnie Foster from iPod

No preference. My GP and OB/GYN are both male. - Mellissa
