I asked my internist (GP) about seeing foreign patients because I was curious. He specializes in a some obscure conditions ( that don't have ) and sometime gets foreign patients. he said he also knows people who travel to Switzerland to see doctors there. Said that seeing patients who aren't local really isn't a big deal.
