If a patient asks a doctor to only contact her at work should the doctor honor that request?

Yes, I think that a doctor should acknowledge and honor just about anything a patient says. If the patient is ignored or feels ignored, then the doctor needs to try to help the patient so they can keep the patient with his/her services. I have had a patient that threatened to sue the hospital because I called her to late at night. All patients should be Honored and Respected. J. Idol, MD Neurologist NC

Are you allowed to choose another doctor if you do not like the one you have?
In most countries - yes, (especially if you are paying for the doctor privately) - if you do not feel confident with your doctor you should tell him/her and ask to be referred to another practitioner. The doctor should not be offended by this request, human 'chemistry' means that we do not all get on with each other equally and in situations like medicine if the 'chemistry' is wrong it is not good for the patient.
