A qualitative case study was conducted for this purpose. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with five oriental medicine doctors and doctors working in clinical settings using a semi-structured questionnaire. Transcription and coding were performed to analyze the data. By analyzing each case individually through within-case analysis, we attempted to find themes that emerged from the research subjects' experiences with establishing relationships with patients.

Doctors and patients for the purpose of healing and treatment of disease through the contract will make a relationship. Doctors perform the medical practice for the state and illness of patient. Given that the patient did not cooperate in the doctor's medical practice, it is difficult to achieve the goal of disease healing.

The present study examines the relative roles of external recommendations and internally felt satisfaction in influencing patient loyalty to a doctor. It establishes that recommendations do result in preliminary loyalty formation in the patient to the doctor, but only until the formation of own experiences; the significance of external sources of recommendation in the determination of patient loyalty becomes insignificant thenceforth. Implications for the doctors are that they should strive at fostering bonds of emotional attachment in their present patients so that they become strongly loyal and spread positive word-of-mouth which could result in the doctor getting new patients as well. Probable extensions of this research are also discussed later in the paper.
