Please get your medical records, especially your operative report from the surgery and go for a 2nd opinion. Something is not right when the office staff starts treating you differently. Believe me, I have worked in doctors offices for 13 yrs and you just don't change your attitute about a patient for no reason. Document every phone call (date,time and who you spoke to). Last but not least, get a second opinion.
