Is it normal to ask a telehealth platform for their doctors' license numbers?

Feels slightly awkward emailing a platform asking to confirm their doctor's license number before I've even booked, like I'm being paranoid or accusatory. Is this actually a normal, reasonable thing to ask, or am I overthinking it?

Asked this exact question to a platform once and got a genuinely annoyed, vague non-answer, which was honestly more useful information than if they'd just given me the number. Went with a different platform that had it listed on their site without me even having to ask.
