Question. .

Just got out of my appointment I'm 38 weeks 4 days and I did the stress test she said everything looked and sounded great.  But my question is why wouldn't the doctor check to see if I wasn't dialating?

Some doctors don't check until your due date. Most do but some don't. It's not really necessary. Unless your in active labor they won't do anything even if you are dilated a little so it's more of a curiosity thing to be checked than actually medically necessary.
