"Meeting?"
Any doctor can prescribe any drug that's legal. Buprenorphine is legal; it's been approved by the FDA. The only situation in which it would possibly be illegal would be if she were prescribing it for the maintenance of an opioid addiction.
It really sounds like your doctor doesn't understand the laws that affect her practice.
