To be honest a typical response from a doctor who doesn't know anything about the topic is to just say no. It is safer for them that way, especially from a legal stand point. Also many things especially with un-tested topics like NBE have people on both sides of the fence who interpret the little research that exists differently. Doctors can also be wrong, it is part of being human. Saying no is just the safe answer for them. The best advice is to listen to their justification and then make your own informed decisions.
Many people expect their doctor to know everything about everything which is just not possible. A friend of mine is a doctor who works in the emergency ward of a hospital and he has to spend 8 hours a week learning about things in his specialisation and then teach the other doctors about it in a presentation.
