I changed doctors too - I never had confidence in my original oncologist - he would keep reordering the same tests over forgetting that I just had it, that pretty much told me he was no reading my file. I am very glad I changed. But in your case if it was someone on the doctor's staff who offended you I think the doctor deserves to know what happened.

I fired my first oncologist. After that, its easy to fire them so I fired my PCP and then my gyne. All due to incompetence, incompetence and arrogance respectively.

If you want details - I'll be happy to moan and groan about it.
