How do you get doctors to take you seriously?

My doctor makes everything a power struggle. He won’t refill prescriptions I need, he won’t approve treatment I need, etc

I’ve had similar issues with past doctors, but this is the worst it’s gotten. Any tips to make male doctors take you seriously?

My wife worked many years for doctors, and her father was a doctor. She has a firm idea of how a doctor should treat a patient, and we don't hesitate to change doctors if one doesn't measure up to her standards.
