I wouldn't see a T that takes notes constantly. I would address it, but you've already done that, and your concern was brushed aside. That attitude alone would be a bad sign to me.
My medical NP tends to type into her computer while we're talking. I understand the pressure she's under to document because of federal mandates, and that "charting" is unpaid time and time taken away from patients and the practitioner's personal life. But I still don't like it, and have, on occasion, forced her to stop and look and listen to me. I try to give her other time during an appt to chart. But if she were not willing to meet me half way on this, I wouldn't see her. With a T, I think the stakes are way higher, and by not looking at you, she's diminishing her engagement with you and that means a lesser therapeutic effect.
