Dear [recipient's name]:

I have heard excellent comments from friends and others who have been patients at your medical office and who are under the care of Dr. Williams. I am seriously considering making an appointment at your office but would like to ask a few questions first.

How many years has Dr. Williams been in practice? Where did he complete his medical training? How much experience does he have with treating fibromyalgia? What treatments or medications does he typically use for patients who have fibromyalgia?

Thank you so much for answering my questions, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

[Signature]
