How come alternative medicine practitioners always seem more caring and considerate?

It's the person: It may seem that alternative medical providers are more caring and considerate, however it more likely has to do with the person than the fact that they are an alternative practitioner. Many traditional physicians are just as caring as holistic practitioners. The best way to find the right provider for you is by interviewing their patients. If the patients love them, likely you will too.

A lesson for all...: ...from a mainstream practitioner: "KIndness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom." Theodore Rubin, MD
