I honestly don't care. There are good doctors and bad doctors of every gender, and I have had those experiences with both. I think gender has little to do with getting a good exam with a qualified health care provider.
What I would recommend for everyone would be to stick with what you are comfortable with. If male providers make you less comfortable then you should be seeking a female. Whatever gets you checked out when you need to be is most important. If you are avoiding a situation because it makes you uncomfortable, you should do whatever you need to in changing it.
