I found an excellent article on the Neuropathy Trust website entitled: Peripheral Neuropathy: Getting the Best out of the Medical Profession by Dr Simon J. Ellis.

Go to this site and scroll down the page and you will find the article.

Some of the attributes which I appreciate in a good specialist:

Their ability to listen and two way questions.
Genuine answers - not rubbish answers like "how long's a piece of string"? or another "don't fix what's not broke" or "you've seen too many sunrises"!
Acknowledging what's been said.
Thoroughness of note taking and testing.
Explanation of diagnosis, treatment and other things pertaining to the disease course.
Remembering you when you come back.
A respectful two way relationship.
Not giving up on you!
