Some signs that your doctor doesn't like you include.

Your time is not being respected.
You don't feel heard.
Your doctor doesn't explain anything clearly and thoroughly.
Your doctor doesn't talk to your other doctors.
Your doctor seems to be keeping you in the dark.
Your doctor isn't discussing all your treatment options.

If your doctor doesn't take the time to answer your questions or address your concerns, there's a problem.

"If your doctor's not giving you the time you need, they're not listening to you fully because they're rushing then it may be a sign that your doctor does not like you and also may be a sign that you may want to change to another doctor.

You are free to choose any doctor you want and you can quit going to your current doctor if you prefer.

Generally, physicians respond with a variety of emotions to their patients: some they truly like; others they do not like but still regard sympathetically because of their illnesses.

In rare instances, however, a doctor actually hates a patient yet is forced to take care of him or her.

Some things you should avoid when you're at your doctors office.

Anything that is not 100 percent truthful.
Anything condescending, loud, hostile, or sarcastic.
Anything related to your health care when they are off the clock.
Complaining about other doctors.
Anything that is a huge overreaction.

Sometimes, a patient's symptoms are dismissed because they are considered too young and generally healthy for the healthcare professional to even consider a serious illness.
