Default Catheterization

I have a stent and the FAA requires a post event catheterization in order to get a first class medical. My cardiologist won't order one because it is not "medically necessary". At least two others I have seen have seen said the same thing. One was a supposedly "pilot friendly" cardiologist. From what I can gather I need to keep doctor shopping until I can find one that will order one for me. Before I do that I thought I would see if there was anyone here who has had this done and who you saw to get it ordered. I'm in San Diego but am willing to travel to get it done.
