Why is it most (male) doctors don't sport beards/mustaches?

Question

I never thought about this, but I noticed that most male doctors, whether they are surgeons or general physicians, don't wear beards or mustaches. Is there any reason why?

Answer 1

My doctor is a female but I know its mostly a personal choice and I never thought of it until I read your question! Thats awesome that you noticed!  

Answer 2

No real reason, perhaps some think its un-sanitary. It's a case of personal choice.

Good Luck. X :-)

Answer 3

Face masks do not seal over beards \ moustaches.

Answer 4
