Funny! My current and previous psychiatrists are/were both Indian!

The previous guy was a total ***, knew exactly what he was going to give me pretty much before I came through the door, and constantly contradicted what I said. I am pissed that he tried giving me Pristiq instead of Effexor, considering that the former has no generic and is so very closely related to Effexor. During our second visit, he was still convinced that I was taking Pristiq although I demanded and received Effexor. Then we went through several minutes of a round about where he couldn't get it through his head that I never was given, tried, or was prescribed Pristiq, and the Effexor was prescribed by him and not before!! My account just didn't seem right to him!

I dropped him after the second time I saw him. I felt terribly bad for the people who rely on his services. He also had a thick accent. It made communication very difficult.

On to my excellent current Psychiatrist. She is likewise Indian, she has an obvious accent but not in a way that makes her harder to understand. In fact, the accent seems very pleasant to me.
