Psychologist dismissing DMV diagnosis

This happened a few years ago in meeting with a psychologist. Somewhere during the session, he blatantly stated he didnt believe in DID and also did not believe in giving his patients a PTSD diagnosis. He elaborated but there is no recollection of the rest of it. After testing, he expressed I most likely had PTSD, but he labeled it something else (recently stumbled across an old copy).
Everyone has their opinions but there are some things in a professional setting that arent appropriate and shouldnt be said. Also-did not even ask him about his views on either conditions.
How would you have responded in a situation like that and how do you bring yourself to trust a psychologist who is clearly biased?
