Not being called about abnormal lab results --- new standard of care ??

I'm a 53 yo WM who recently had to switch PCPs because my former doc retired. My new family doc is out of residency for a couple years and I've seen him twice for routine well visits and he's friendly enough but never calls me about abnormal lab results. Now these aren't devastating lab results like a positive HIV test or a diagnosis of Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, but one was a fasting blood glucose of 113 and another was a slightly elevated WBC count. With all my previous docs I've had, I would at least get a call from an office nurse saying something like "this or that was elevated but nothing to be concerned about, we'll just repeat it in six months on your next visit". But with this new doc, I get NADA, zip, nothing. Not even a lowly email.

Should I be concerned about this young doc, or is this the new standard of care amongst Millenial physicians?
