Various Types of Doctor Thank-You Letters

• Thank-You Letter to Doctor from Patient – This is the classic thank-you letter drafted by patients to their doctors. As the name suggests, the aim of this letter is for patients to express their overwhelming gratitude toward their doctors. While doctors may have been paid to do their jobs well, there still is no amount of payment that can compensate for the depth of their care and concern for their patients. It’s exactly this human component of their services that one must acknowledge in a thank-you letter.
• Thank-You Letter for Referral – This letter is written by a doctor to another doctor who has referred him/her to a patient. In the medical world, just like in all kinds of profession, there are specializations. For example, a general practitioner may encounter a patient who is suffering from an extreme case of hormonal imbalance, in which case he/she would refer this patient to a gynecologist. A gynecologist would be better equipped to deal with the patient’s case.
• Medical Assistant Thank-You Letter – This letter is given by a patient to a medical assistant in order to thank him/her for scheduling an appointment with the right physician who can cater to his/her health problems.
