"Foreigners" - I think you are assuming that all doctors with different names are not born, raised and educated right here in the U.S. My favorite and quite brilliant doctor at the Beth Israel was of Chinese parentage, and American born. Americans come in all colors, all shapes and all sizes these days; and living in Florida we are going to have more and more hispanic doctors practicing here. In my case at Mayo, my surgeon was of Greek parentage, my husband's Oncologist was Indian!
In our case, whenever we need to see a doctor we are not familiar with, I research where they did their residency and I have never yet found one locally who has not been educated right here in the U.S.
There is a watchmaker at one of the local flea markets who is from Vietnam. My husband was talking with him one day and found out that his six, yes six, children had all been born here, educated here and were ALL doctors, dentists, Engineers ........... you name it, and they had all done it on studying hard and getting scholarships.
Will most likely be more dr Greg House, lots of wackos that can't get jobs in there hometowns or have been ran out there local areas.
This is a really insulting comment.

I would have to come along side this comment/poster and say that one should never make judgements by skin color or ethnicity!! Whenever I make an app't with a new provider I try to do my "due diligence" to find out their credentials first. I have a specialist I see in Ocala, who is of a different race than me---she's top-notch and I like her very much. America, last I heard, is a melting pot of all people from around the world. So far, since moving here we've found our practioners to be fine. IF, Heaven forbid, either of us would get a catastrophic illness we'd probably look as this poster did for someone who could "best" address our illness.
I have to wonder "if" the food..... and health-care here is so bad---why is it this community is growing so quickly??
