You’re missing the other half of that though. Pharma companies also heavily push ads, samples, white papers, etc to the doctors. This means that if the patient brings it up, the doctor will have likely heard of it and be more likely to prescribe. Barring that, a doctor isn’t going to risk a malpractice suit for prescribing a drug that may injure their patient
