Our experience is that teachers generally respond with "oh, you think your child is gifted, well I will spend the next year trying to prove to you that they aren't".
While doctors generally respond with "well, of course they are gifted, I don't need any testing to tell me that, you only need to spend 5 minutes with the child !".
We have even had one doctor tell us "like always recognise like", meaning that gifted always recognise other gifted (secret language maybe). Yes, he was an odd fellow, a senior paediatric neurologist, but he got on wonderfully with our son.
Yet to meet a teacher who doesn't throw the pysch report to the back of the desk never to be seen again.
