What, in your opinion, makes a good healthcare provider?

We all have varying experiences with healthcare providers (MD/DO/PA/NP). I am interested in hearing stories about what has made someone a good healthcare provider and also a not-so-good healthcare provide. I want to hear about everything, not just that they were or weren’t able to fix your problem.

As some of you may already know, I’m going to school to become a Nurse Practitioner. Since I will be a healthcare provider on another level (rather than being a bedside registered nurse), I’m interested in seeing what others see and good and bad in their providers.
