I wouldn't change vets at this point for that reason.
Remember your vet gets ask questions on a daily basis (and probably the same questions over and over and over again) ---- and in truth, she probably knows that many things aren't anything to worry about. I'd rather have a vet like this than one that might overreact, cause me a lot more in bills, and keep me fretting about everything all the time.
I can't help but compare your vet to the pediatrician that I had for my children. This doctor had heard it all - and kept me calm and my little children healthy for years. But (and this is important) -- if anything was ever a serious problem and anything needed to done -- it was done immediately.
Also - my vet told me a while back that when she first started practicing, she overreacted to everything, and often worried all night about what might possibly happen to any of the little dogs she had seen that day. Now, after 16 years experience, she said she has learned that she wasted a lot of her time worrying about things unnecessarily. She is an absolutely wonderful vet. She has literally stayed up nights with me and has cried with me. But, for the most part, I am very lucky and have had very healthy pets.
