I'm a man that doesn't care either way...IF they're good.
I've had better diagnosis and felt I was better listened to by women though. Even nurse practitioners were more accurate and gave better advice then some of the male Physicians I saw.
Depends on what kind of doctor. A general practitioner's gender wouldn't matter to me. If i was having brain or heart surgery I would want a middle aged male doctor.
At first I thought that it really doesn't matter. But I think that a man may know more about scientific things, so that might make a difference at times. But if it is for urological or any other private thing, I would prefer a woman, which I know many men would probably prefer the opposite.

A man might very well know more about "scientific things." A different man might be clueless. And a woman might know an amazing amount of scientific things, while yet another woman might know next to nothing.
The tests that medical students take in order to pass med school, and then to get their license, are the same whether the student is a man or a woman. If the woman doesn't know as much as the man, then she won't get licensed to become a doctor. If the man doesn't know as much as the woman, then he won't become a doctor. And if neither of them know as much as they are required to know, in order to pass med school, then neither of them will become a doctor.
Thankfully, you don't have to be a scientist to understand that. You just have to have a smidgeon of common sense.
