This is absolutely untrue. We have had an issue before where a doctor from Missouri Eye Institute in town wanted to refer my wife to STL or KC, and stated no one in town would work. We looked around and found a specialist at Mercy, went to him for a second opinion. He spotted the issue immediately and had her back to normal in two weeks.

Whether the first doctor was incompetent or malicious makes no difference; check around here first because they absolutely do not have to refer you in town.

That sounds like a very different situation than the one OP presented. In particular because their issue is finding a pediatric specialist, which we tend to lack here.
