Lima-Perú.Objective: To describe the Physician-patient relationship and to determine the factors associated with a good perception of it by the patients that attend ambulatory care in the Carlos Lanfranco La Hoz Hospital (CLLHH) of the Health Ministry (MINSA), during May 2014. Material and Methods: Transversal-comparative study performed with patients that attend ambulatory care of medical specialties.

Results: A total of 179 patients completed the questionnaire.

The variables finally associated with a good physician -patient relationship were having between 18-35 years old (OR = 8,1 [IC95%; 1,6-40,1), personally choosing their physicians (OR = 20,5 [IC95%; 5,1-82,5), and be attended by a female physician (OR = 3,1 [IC 95%; 1,01-9,3]). Conclusions: There is a low percentage (23%) of patients that perceive a good physician -patient relationship.
