    An open and easy communication is the key to building doctor-patient relationships. It has become increasingly important for doctors to use the right language with their patients. Since doctor-patient communication may include complex technical language and/or medical terminology, it is often difficult for patients to understand their own diagnoses or treatment plans. The purpose of this research was to understand the relationship between physician use of medical terminology and patient satisfaction. An online research survey was sent to 250 random patients at selected clinics/hospitals during February 2019; responses were received from 39 patients.
