I haven't read the other posts, so forgive me if I repeat what was said. Doctors are just like the rest of us. By this, I mean they run the line of personality types from friendly to overbearing to downright asses. Personally, my GP is GREAT, but I had to look around to find him. He is an excellent listener, and takes all the necessary time until the patient's questions have been answered. He even helps me when I have treatment issues with other docs, because I am HIS patient FIRST. It is an excellent relationship! So, try another, or a third or whatever. Make written or mental notes ow "what you want" from a doc, and see how he/she rates. It may take some time,but any relationship (and that's what it is) that is worth having is worth investing time in.
