But then again, I guess if you've spent a lifetime wearing shoes that contribute to plantar fascitis and other foot pain, you're probably not interested in addressing the cause and will pay for the temporary relief of increasingly more cushion. Marketing has to earn their big budget somehow!

Being a doctor doesn't mean anything. I had 3 or 4 before one had the common sense to suggest zero drop and gradually less cushion for the very reason that emerging research suggests: elevated heels can weaken your feet in ways that make injury more likely. Cushion has its value, but these Hokas are a parody of a shoe.
I'm genuinely sorry your feet need so much support to be useful and less painful. My pain is gone and I can enjoy wearing nothing, but it sounds like you NEED special footwear to be happy. That sounds terrible and you have my sympathy.

You can search PubMed for even more evidence, but don't worry, I don't even expect you to click on a link, let alone read!
So do you think she uninformed, or, maybe gets a kickback for every pair sold in 10 mile radius of her workplace?
This might be hard to understand, but it's entirely possible that she is making recommendations based on popular opinion and not science that challenges the status quo. I can tell you didn't look at a single of my links, let alone read them (or maybe you didn't understand the big words?) or you'd realize that "big cushy shoe derp derp heal raise get good fast" is mostly marketing, not science.
I have not once suggested that cushion in and of itself is "bad". I have not once suggested that going "barefoot" (which itself is not entirely accurate) will fix everyone's foot problems. I have not once suggested that a shoe cannot be designed to successfully optimize an athlete's performance.
I have only, and correctly, pointed out that raised-heel and overly cushioned shoes weaken muscles and can increase the likelihood of injury.
Olympic runners are not the concern here. Joe Q Runsalot - perhaps someone like you? - who have weakened their feet over years of poor form and atrophy are the ones with the janky feet. Need cushion to recover from self-inflicted injury? Go nuts. Anyone who sees Hokas and thinks "Wow, those are a good-looking shoe!" is not the kind of person to think for themselves, anyway. They are a silly, pointless, and ridiculous caricature of a shoe that prioritizes foot health. They are themselves the treatment for the problems they cause.
