Doctor-patient communication: What are your experiences?

How would you rate your communication with doctors? (Scale of 1-5; where 1 is poor and 5 is highly professional). Thanks for your help! 🙂

I’d say my average rating is probably a 3 out of 10.
Some doctors I can joke around with like they're old buddies, even if they're terrible at actually diagnosing anything. Then there are the ones I only see when it's an absolute emergency—rude, blunt, and totally lacking manners, but honestly some of the best in the field. When you've got no other choice, you take what you can get.

General practitioner, 5-star rating.
The truth is, I’m pretty lucky since she only sees me once every couple of years, but my experiences have been nothing but positive.
What I really value about her is how much she actually wants to talk. When I had my first major allergy attack, she actually sat down with me and walked me through everything—explaining the what, the how, and the why. We talked about how diet and stress management play into it, and what kind of lifestyle shifts I could make to help myself... it’s never just about scribbling down a prescription and sending me on my way.
On the flip side, when I came in with some aches and pains that I didn't personally think were a big deal, she immediately sent me off for blood work at the lab and a referral to a specialist. She clearly didn't share my opinion that it was just a minor thing... and honestly, I appreciate that level of caution.
She doesn't rush you either, even if the waiting room is packed; she handles everything so professionally, which I really respect.
