Bedside Manner

In my opinion, it is critical for a doctor I’m working with to have good bedside manner. I’m looking for a positive, upbeat doctor. Sure, I need to know the facts, but please present them to me in the most positive light. I feel anxious about my skin, so I’m looking for a doctor who de-escalates the situation.

Is bedside manner important to you? What type of bedside manner are you attracted to in a doctor?
