Oh, yes-- DD loves our allergist, and he won her over by permitting her to handle his stethoscope and otoscope when she was just 2, and by taking her questions seriously.

On the other hand, she really DID love stickers, so that was pretty much the only highlight of a visit to our primary care physician for many years. (We eventually ditched him when DD11 refused to entertain the notion of EVER seeing him again; she now sees his nurse practitioner, who also treats her as the intelligent and sensitive young lady that she is.)
