I almost never introduce myself by my physician title outside of the office. And if you are another physician I know, I expect to use first names. However, If contacting another physician I am not familiar with, I will address them by Dr. XXX. It seems to be a known decorum.

But I continue to get medical practice marketing emails, "consulting" gigs, other promotional material where the non physician employee addresses me by my first name in the header. That's an absolute no go for me. Maybe I am overly sensitive for this, but it tells me what you think of my position and that you likely won't value my time. Delete button is used quickly.
