In the context of Healthy China， this study was aimed to learn the distribution of the authors， institutions， research methods and research hotspots of the publications with high impact on doctor?patient relationship in China and provide basis and reference for further relevant research. The publications of doctor?patient relationship cited more than 20 times and downloaded more than 100 times in CNKI database were used as the data source， and the CiteSpace software was used for bibliometric analysis. The number of publications with high impact on doctor?patient relationship was increasing year by year， but there were more theoretical studies and less empirical studies， and the research perspective was relatively narrow. The academic value and application value of doctor?patient relationship research need to be improved， and the construction of academic ecosphere is relatively insufficient， which requires multidisciplinary cooperation among management departments at all levels， researchers and academic journals.
