Sumario:Abstract: The objective of this study was to inquire about the quality of Doctor-Patient Relationship (DPR) in patients in a town in the province of San Juan. A survey to patients about doctor-patient relationship was carried out in a private clinic and in a private hospital. Results: More than 70% of the contestants said they trust their doctor, their doctor see to them, helps them, makes an effort to help them, is approachable, it is possible to talk to, that they are happy with the prescribed treatment, that the treatment is helping them and it is beneficial to them, that they agree with the doctor on the causes of symptoms, and they say they feel better thanks to their doctor and consider they have more information about their health because of their doctor and that they have a better control of the symptoms even when they do not see the doctor. Contestants from the private clinic perceive that they can talk more to the doctor and find doctors more approachable than users of the public hospital. Discussion: In all the items of the questionnaire, more than 50% of patients refer to a good DPR.
