My goodness!! My family and friends with PhD's prefer either no title or "Mr." Ms" or "Prof." before their names. The letters denoting the degree come after their names if relevant to the context in which their names appear. They consider the use of "Dr." in academic circles to be pretentious. Of course those folks are mostly physicists, chemists and Mathematicians.
