Victor
Not all doctors are blessed with a fantastic bed side manner,and just because a Doctor smiles at you and looks animated doesn't neccessarily mean they are doing a good job.In my experience sometimes the most stoney faced medics,are the best,they just havent honed their people skills.

I don't see any criticism of your treatment mentioned by the doctors you saw for your second opinion so it sounds like it is a personality clash between you.

My advice would be to get it out in the open ,and discuss your feelings,who knows Victor,he may not be aware what a poor image he is presenting.

Have you ever watched "House" victor.there is a Doctor who really does consider patients to be a pain in the rear,but it doesn't diminish his actual ability as a clinician.

A lot of time and energy can be wasted looking for something better than you have,but if his treatment plan was approved by other doctors,perhaps you should stick with him and try to get over the personality issues.
I see from your posts on the english mouth cancer forums,that you had this second opinion three weeks ago,so your treatment must be well along now how is the lymph node responding?

good luck
