In reply to the discussion: My Doctor Is a Pakistani Muslim. [View all]dixiegrrrrl
(60,164 posts)3. My experience has been the same.
I have worked with docs from India, actually, in Mental Health clinics, plus one female doc from Bangladesh (now, THERE's a story)
and Mr. Dixie saw a doc from Iraq when we first got here, for his disability exams.
In each and every case, I found them to be conscientious, very focused, very attentive and thorough.
In fact, it was the doc I worked with at a Mental Health clinic down here who helped me quit smoking,
I will always bless him.
Whereas Mr. Dixie's Southern born and bred medical doc here almost killed him by mis-diagnosing and then mis-prescribing.
Fortunately, that doc retired a few months later.

I know a family from Bosnia, Muslims that look like they just arrived from Italy.

With all these testimonials to mid-eastern MDs 1 could ask "why" do so many come from there?

I tend to judge docs by whether they take MediCAID patients. If not, it's a good chance they are

I live in an area with a lot of immigrants, especially from Muslim countries.
