Physician anxiety: It is very important to have a good working relationship with you doctor. Relationship founded on trust and honesty. Anxiety creates indecision and errors of of omission . You either need to sit down and find that place with what you currently have. Or find alternative with which you are comfortable.

Not sure: You know best why you're anxious seeing your doctor but not the nurse. But anxiety is not all of you, and can be understood and worked with. Some might want to talk with their doctors about this; doctors are there to assist patients in their healing. The doctor-patient relationship can provide a model and practice ground for what's happening in your regular life. Good luck to you.
