Before and after
Subject: Introduction from a neighbour on the community health board
Dear Dr. Kipkemboi,
My name is Jerome Kearney, and I am a naturopathic doctor at Willow Bend Naturopathic, a few minutes from your clinic. We both sit on the community health board, and I wanted to introduce myself properly.
My practice focuses on digestive concerns, fatigue, hormone balance for women in perimenopause, and stress and sleep. First visits are 60 minutes, so there is time to hear the whole story.
I always encourage my patients to keep their family doctor involved in their care. With a patient's permission, I am happy to send a visit summary.
I would welcome a 20 minute coffee sometime to learn about your practice and see whether there is a way we can be a useful option for patients who are looking for extra support. I am free Tuesday or Thursday mornings. If it would help, I can also send a one page overview of what I do.
You can reach me at jerome@willowbendnd.example or 555-0113.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards,
Jerome Kearney, ND
Willow Bend Naturopathic

What it does
Writes a short, professional message to a local doctor, chiropractor, massage therapist or similar practitioner, asking to connect and explaining how you could work together. It can also write follow-ups and thank-you notes for referrals you have received.
Use it when: Use when a naturopath wants to write outreach to local doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists or other practitioners to build a referral relationship, such as: write an intro letter to a local doctor, reach out to chiropractors, follow up with a referral partner, or thank someone for a referral.
