Professionalism is a key competence for physicians. Patient complaints provide a unique insight into patient expectations regarding professionalism. Research exploring the exact nature of patient complaints in general practice, especially focused on professionalism, is limited. Most unsolicited patient complaints are related to clinical problems. One-third, however, concerns professionalism issues. Not being taken seriously was the most frequent mentioned theme within the professionalism category.
