Our participants were 14 patients and 11 physicians. The sampling method was purposive, and data was collected through semi-structured interviews and field notes. Interviews continued until data saturation.Results: Findings of the study regarding barriers of patientphysician relationship were classified into five main categories:misperception of the physician’s identity, unprofessional behavior of the physician, physician’s sense of self-superiority, patients’ cultural differences, and lack of supportive services in the health care system.Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the communication challenges between physician and patient werenot limited to the physicians’ education.
