No? My dentist does. I have found norhing that helps with white coat, and I have SUPER high readings at the doctor's office. We're talking numbers like 200/100.

Had to see a doctor a few months ago. I do monitor my BP at home. That morning my BP was 114/73. Within 30 minutes of calling the doctor to make an appointment it was up to 160/90. By the time I walked out of the house to go to the doctor it was 195/99. It takes a long time to go back down also. Not back down to 120/80 sort of numbers until the next day ~ one more reason I hate to see doctors as I don't want to be on meds, and my numbers are great as long as not at the doctor or dentist.

I do find hibiscus tea really helps keep my numbers good at home, but does nothing if I have too see a doctor.
