Possible New Obstetrician? (NHS) - Help!

I saw an Obstetrician after my 12 week scan due to having Epilepsy - she is supposedly the best of the best, however..... She was not only patronising and had the audacity to ask my whether my mental health diagnosis - which was diagnosed by a clinical psychiatrist and is plastered all over my medical history - is REAL (yep, I'm not joking), I have also since found out that the information she gave me regarding pregnancy and epilepsy wasn't accurate (I saw my Neurologist today and fact-checked her - he was shocked at the misinformation given).

I have an appointment with my Midwife next week and am seriously considering asking to see a different consultant - has anyone else ever been through anything similar? Any advise would help!

Not in regard to epilepsy but I have had similar experiences with thyroid issues in pregnancy, it’s depressingly crap and I don’t have any real advice other than to be as knowledgable as possible yourself and fact check anything you’re told.
