I had this experience with my OB/GYN. I love her and have both a personal and professional relationship with her. She is the head of Obstetrics at the main hospital up here so of course the nurses I work with talk about her. Some love her, some think she is awful. One told me that she is too direct and doesn't take the time to sit with her patients. I like this about her because she doesn't bullsh*t me -- ever.
What I've said to the nurses or even friends who don't like her, is that her style doesn't suit everyone so thank goodness there are a variety of people to choose from. I might say the same to your friend. You could say that you've heard exactly the opposite about your pdoc so it seems to be a matter of opinion. And I think most docs these days combine drugs, so I don't get that at all. If she tries to argue with you then I might say, I would assume he knows what he is doing as an MD which is why he gets to prescribe and pharmacists don't.
And I think I'd tell the pdoc if it is really bothering you but I don't think it is necessary. As long as he has patients like you who think he is doing a good job, he is likely to keep getting referrals. I think it is sweet that you care about him.
