When you address them it would be: "Good evening, Dr. Smith"
Written communications:

"Sincerely,

(illegible scrawl signature here)

Karen Smith, M.D."

So, yes your office subscribes to Redundancy Magazine. It should be "Christie Russell, O.D."

Yeah, it's been bugging me but I knew that I had to get confirmation that it was incorrect before I just changed it. Otherwise it'd just end up going back to the way it currently is. In fact, I called yesterday and told one of my co-workers that it needed to be changed. Her reply? "You'll have to take that up with Jean because she's the one that put it up there like that." *bangs head on desk* She's our MANAGER, not a grammar expert, so obviously it's incorrect no matter who put it up that way! But when I go in tonight, I'm correcting it and explaining to my manager why I changed it. Some of the spelling mistakes I've seen her leave in notes just make by head hurt. She laughs that I always change her notes on the white board. I usually have things that I need to add to the board, too, so I just rewrite it so that there is space to add my stuff, but half the time I just come up with something to add so that I don't have to tell her "your spelling is atrocious, I needed to correct it so it didn't kill any more brain cells!"
