yeah i've gone to the states to see pdocs... i just wanted to get a perscription (abilify) but they actually made me go through a full examination ... .cost was $100 USi think anyone will take you if you have money... whether or not they'll give you the medication you want is another question (some are only comfortable if you go to them for longterm followup... or at least have someone in your own country who is knowledgable for longterm followup)....
what would be nicer is if you could us E 128 or whatever to see a pdoc in france instead of the UK
