Bedside manner is the way that medical professionals approach and interact with their patients. The interviewer wants to hear how you describe your bedside manner to understand how you interact with your patients to see if you align with the company's values. They want to hear that you are sympathetic, compassionate, patient and that you can provide comfort to your patients. They do not want to hear that you are brusque, impatient, or intolerant of your patients and their loved ones.

"I would describe my bedside manner as empathetic, compassionate, and comforting. I genuinely care about my patients and want them to feel comfortable with me as their surgeon. I am a patient person and take the time to explain complex procedures so that my patients understand and are informed. My goal is to alleviate my patient's fears while having trust and confidence in my abilities."
