I'd have a frank discussion with the doctor rather than making an assumption.

If someone isn't happy with their doctor for any reason, they always have the right to second (or more) opinions, and/or to go to another doctor.

Wonderful advice from the wise "Doc" as usual. Great information sites were given. Read Read Read and celebrate that you are dealing with this now, when you can access so much information. I believe that ignorance, not the pain, is your worst enemy. Best wishes.
