This study aims to examine the relationship between patient satisfaction, patient trust, patient commitment and patient loyalty towards a doctor. 200 sets of questionnaires were distributed to regular public patients of the government hospital and clinics, as well as private clinics in The Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia. Data were then analyzed using regression analyses. The findings verified the research hypotheses, and confirmed that there are relationships between patient satisfaction, trust, commitment and patient loyalty towards a doctor. Furthermore, patient satisfaction and trust are affected by a doctor’s reputation. This study helps doctors and health service providers to formulate strategies and tactics that will effectively develop the loyalty of patients. By promoting greater satisfaction and deeper trust at the same time patient commitment and loyalty can be strengthened. Positive doctor reputation will definitely promote greater satisfaction and deeper trust at the same time, consequences that in turn result in patient commitment and loyalty.
