I live in the DC metropolitan area and my primary care physician told me the same thing. He was nice about it and just said he knew nothing about the drug other than that it would help people, but he didn't know enough to prescribe. I called various ID docs in the area. All those that I reached in Virginia told me they didn't do "maintenance work" and wouldn't schedule an appointment. I finally started calling ID docs located in DC and the first one I called scheduled an appointment and got me in to see her in 2 days. No problem getting the prescription.
