White coat syndrome: Is more common than you think. It's not weird. And no doctor would think that you are dumb. Be confident!

It's common: for some people to be frightened or nervous. glad you found a doctor you like. you have nothing to worry about.

Don't worry: We're more afraid of you than you are of us! :) Yes, we are aware but as long as you're upfront and honest, you WILL be fine.
