From my experience, pdocs tend to me less 'touchy-feely' warm. My pdoc is my T, and she's definitely very clinical. The one time she said something warm, I nearly wet myself. But she's a good pdoc. She simply shows she cares in other ways. Yeah, I'd prefer verbal expressions of caring, but I know that doesn't jive with her training.
It sounds like you have two excellent support people in your life. What role does your pdoc play? It may not be the same as your pcp or your t. And just because she doesn't say "I'm worried" doesn't mean she isn't. And just because she doesn't verbally express her caring, doesn't mean she doesn't care.
