Need to Change Doctors? Here’s a Sample Letter to Get You Started

Dear [Doctor’s Name],

I am writing to request a change of doctors. While I have appreciated the care that you have provided in the past, I have recently decided to switch to a different medical practice for personal reasons.

I would like to request that my medical records be transferred to [New Doctor’s Name] at [New Doctor’s Practice]. Please let me know what steps I need to take in order to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Your Signature
Your Printed Name

Note: If you are switching to a new medical practice, you may also want to include the practice’s address and contact information in your letter.

You may also want to include a brief explanation for why you are requesting a change of doctors, although this is not strictly necessary.
