I'm curious as to why none of you contacted the HCP to express your 
concerns.  It sounds as if the mom got put in the middle of each of the 
situations described, being asked to choose between her HCP and your advice. 
How is the HCP going to learn anything if you don't discuss your concerns?

I talk to physical therapists, social workers, occupational therapists, 
pharmacists (and on and on) every week about my patients.  I would be upset 
if I found out about someone contradicting my advice without talking to me 
about their concerns and I would be far less likely to work productively with 
that person in the future.  

It doesn't have to be a confrontation, but these examples sound like missed 
opportunities to show off what you do best and help an HCP add to their 
knowledge base.
