How would you feel about a patient who kept calling you Ms. ____ or Mrs. ____ or, in the near future, Dr.______? I guess what I mean is how would it sound to you?

I was raised the same way in terms of how I addressed adults, but I want that familiarity with professionals I deal with. It sort of makes me feel like I'm on equal footing.

My T and I will sometimes talk about my former T/pdoc and she'll refer to him as Dr. so-and-so, although she's friendly enough with him to call him by his first name, and she knows I've always used his first name.
