A good doctor should listen to what you have to say and respond to you carefully. It is not simply a matter of making an accurate diagnosis, but letting the patient know that the doctor has listened to their concerns and is offering a response that is most appropriate for your unique situation. If you have strong opinions on medical issues such as vaccines, sleep schedules or similar activities your doctor should take your concerns into account. However, if there is strong medical knowledge that indicates your views are unsafe they should inform you of these concerns.
