Oh God, Ben. What a load of crap to have to go through to forge your own path to heal your dog. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
So, imagine for a minute: if you went into, say, a clothing store, and a salesperson got angry at you because you didn't want to purchase his recommended 3-piece suit. Angry.
Where, in any other situation than in a doctor's office, would you ever run into high pressure and actual abuse as a customer??
Unfathomable, right? I'd tell this story to everyone you meet, I'd get it on Facebook, I'd especially get it on the local Yelp page for this business, I'd contact Angie's List, etc. etc.
No one should be treated to anger when they seek other options in healthcare. That's appalling.
