Diane,
You have to have complete trust in your pdoc. You may not agree with everything they say but you have to believe that they have your best interests at heart. They may be overwhelmed on a particular day and not give you the attention you feel you need, or they may not see your description of a problem in the way you think they should. BUT – you have to trust them. They must not only be trustworthy – they must give the appearance of deserving that trust. The allegations you describe breach that bond and you should definitely move on .You owe him nothing. He has breached your trust and has failed you. Not the opposite.
I changed pdocs for a completely different reason. My first doc and family ‘accidentally’ became friends with my family. He said he felt he could not be objective in treating me as he knew and liked my family and his judgement would be coloured by that. I respected that, and although I thought we would have done fine, I accepted his wish. He had my interest at heart.Greg
