Understanding patient preferences for surgeon attire is essential, particularly in Saudi Arabia, for establishing appropriate dress codes in healthcare institutions. This national cross-sectional study aimed to fill this gap by assessing patient preferences for surgeon attire and its impact on patients' confidence in their surgeons across various medical settings.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The study used a questionnaire with 16 questions and images of surgeons in different attire styles, focusing on trust, care, approachability, and comfort ratings. The questionnaire included options like scrubs with a white coat, formal attire, and traditional Saudi attire for male surgeons, and various options including niqab and skirts for female surgeons.
