The objective of this paper was to identify and measure the physician’s behavior (listening, explanation and competence) impacting on loyalty through confidence and satisfaction of patients.

The results showed that the factors affecting patients’ satisfaction were trust ( = 0.582), listening ( = 0.370) and explanation ( = 0.384) of the physicians; there were 3 factors impacting on the trust of patients in which the strongest factor was competence ( = 0.482); confidence ( = 0.404) and satisfaction (= 0.388) had significant impacts on patients’ loyalty.
