Seems reasonable to me, are you children (if you have any) also seeing this doctor?

Yes, a doctor can refuse to give you a referral. This does not mean you cannot go see another doctor anyhow (although some specialists won't see a new patient without a referral), it just means your insurance may not pay for it.

Did you bother to ask your doctor why s/he was asking those questions?
