Is the sentence natural?

Last week my doctor called me and said he needed/wanted to see me about something.

1) Do I have to add "on the phone" after "called me" or is the meaning clear?

2) Are both "needed" and "wanted" natural here?

3) Does "see me" mean that he wants to talk to me in person?

4) Is the sentence natural?
