Out with the old doc, in with the new doc. With his smart-alecky manner and his disrespectful attitude I can’t see him doing you any good what so ever. You as patient have every right to overrule his medical opinion. He, on the other hand, has no right to try to punish you with rudeness for your decisions.

I urge you to do what I do at the slightest negative feedback from a doctor. I yell at the top of my voice, “NEXT!” Neurologists are a dime a dozen. Get a new one. If you don’t like the new one, fire his or her axx too. You are in charge here.
