Subject: I've been told he may be dictating to someone he knows well and

You might have John Doe, M.D. in the address info, but doctor dictates "Dear Johnny." Is this what you mean? If that's the case, I would type it as he says it, as he may have a friendly relationship with him in addition to his professional relationship.

On the other hand, if he's dictating a personal nickname, like "Puddin", you should probably use the other name. :)
