DEAR MISS MANNERS: I moved to a new city and am lining up new physicians for me and my family. I have noticed that several doctors introduce themselves with their titles, but address me using my first name. For example, “Hi Ann, I’m Dr. Smith.” I don’t mind the use of my first name, but I would also assume if the doctor feels comfortable using my first name, they should feel comfortable with me using theirs. That doesn’t seem to be the case.
Comment on Miss Manners: Dr. Offended? Why can doctors use my first name, but I can’t use theirs?
