Can doctors identify genital warts or herpes upon visualization? i assume dermatologists can, but wandering about pcp?

This would depend on their experience and training. Can always ask. Ask your Dr. And then maybe see both. Or go to STD clinic.

Yes, agree , not uncommon for a non-dermatologist to accurately diagnose genital warts and/or herpes simplex
