I have a Ph.D. in Chemistry and a post doc in Neurosicience/Pharmacology. The first year after my Ph.d., I really wanted to be called "Dr.". Now, I am like "Call me by my first name". I know my accomplishments and do not need the gratification of others using the term "Dr.". If my last name were Who, I would have different feelings about this.
