I've had the same concern, a few years back. The pdoc was an HMO-approved fellow, and his name looked like it could be one from a culture in which women are treated pretty horribly, so when I called to make the appointment I asked where he was from (what country) and how long he'd been practicing (in the u.s.).
It turned out he was not from such a culture, and our relationship was fine (til he dropped the hmo). But, I would not have gone if he had been from certain countries.
