Wether you agree with what was said or not they will always report their findings back to your gp.

I think you will find information is shared between them, possibly by telephone or / and by letter or email.
Hope you get the help you need, you could ask your GP to refer you to another consultant for a second opinion, you may find someone else to be more helpful.

So only if you went on your own without a referral and didn't list your gp can you keep it private so to speak.
