I'm doing a survey for my course to see what people's opinions on this are.

For example do you prefer doctors who just get on with the professional diagnoses or ones who spend time asking you what you think?
Do you prefer those motherly nurses or the ones who are more business like?
Similarly what makes a healthcare professional bad/dissatisfying? and if you have had any contact with healthcare services in your life what did you like and dislike about the people who provided the service?

Should also be interesting to see if there's a difference between UK and US opinions due to private/public healthcare

I like a doctor who is knowledgeable and efficient.  I don't like a doctor who is an asshole.

It depends on the situation and the specialty of the doctor. In general, one who listens to the patient and their family, is up front and completely open about prognosis and treatment options, who does not condescend to the layperson, and who understands that, while treating a patient, they are affecting the lives of those closest to the patient, as well.

Nurses need to understand their role (they aren't physicians and can't substitute for them).

I like a doctor who I can afford.  In other words, I'm not a fan of most of them.

A good healthcare professional doesn't have to do any explaining to a coroner.

PA: Doctor Riviera, Doctor Nick Riviera.  Please report to the coroner immediately!
Nick: The coroner.  I'm so sick of that guy!  Well, see you in the operating place!
