Actually, our experience is that you'll spend an inordiante amount of time educating a foreign surgeon as to what is needed and why but they'd write one for you once they understand what is necessary. The problem is that many insurance companies will demand a letter written by a doc that they can call, effectively a US surgeon or nothing.
