Culturally, I suspect this would not go over well. There are a shocking number of people that would be less than impressed to be served by a doctor with a non-Anglo-Saxon last name, even if they spoke perfect English.
Especially older people, who are the largest consumers of healthcare.
I don't think this is true. A "shocking number" doesn't mean "the majority" or anywhere close to it in this case, but rather more than there should be(none).
