I agree that there are physicians here whose English leaves a little to be desired. However, having worked in healthcare for more than 40 years, including a number of major metro areas, I am comfortable saying that this area is no different than most. In fact, I dare say that most urban areas have a greater preponderance of foreign medical grads for whom English is a second language.
Personally I have had no significant issue, and 2 of the 3 physicians I see regularly are FMGs and really excellent diagnosticians.
