If I have to choose from two equally qualified doctors one Nepali and ther other non-nepali here is what I would do: Meet with both doctors, listen to their recommendations and go with the ones I like. simple. But if you are asking if I would go to a Nepali doctor educated in Nepal or a non-nepali US doctor - based on the country of origin or race - I will care less weather he is a Nepali or a non-nepali doctor. I will certainly look for the expertise, experience, reputation, behaviour and how what the doctor makes me feel during the first visit before I plan a re-visit. Hope this helps. Shiv
