Dear [Physician's name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you of my decision to terminate our physician-patient relationship. After careful consideration, I have decided to seek medical care elsewhere. Miami-Dade, Florida, is renowned for its diverse population, vibrant culture, and thriving healthcare industry. As a patient living in Miami-Dade County, I have access to a wide range of medical providers and facilities. With this in mind, I have decided to pursue alternative healthcare options that better align with my specific needs and preferences. I want to express my sincere gratitude for the care you have provided me thus far. Your expertise and dedication have been greatly appreciated, and I am grateful for the time and effort you have invested in my well-being. However, I believe that a change in my healthcare provider is necessary due to several reasons. Firstly, I feel that there has been a lack of effective communication between us. While I understand that medical practitioners have busy schedules, it is important for me to have a doctor who can devote sufficient time to address my concerns and provide thorough explanations about my medical condition and treatment options. This ongoing communication gap has hindered my ability to fully participate in my healthcare decisions. Secondly, I have noticed a deviation from the agreed-upon treatment plan. It is imperative for me to receive consistent and reliable medical care. However, I have observed inconsistencies in the execution of our agreed-upon treatment plan, which has caused confusion and concern. As a patient, I place great importance on transparency and adherence to medical protocols. Additionally, I have felt that my overall healthcare experience has been lacking in certain aspects. While it is true that medical care is primarily focused on treating physical ailments, a holistic approach that acknowledges the patient's emotional and mental well-being is equally important to me. I believe that a physician who can provide a comprehensive and patient-centered approach will better suit my needs and contribute to my overall well-being. Please consider this letter as my formal request to terminate our physician-patient relationship. I kindly ask that you provide the necessary steps to facilitate a smooth transition of my medical records to my new healthcare provider. I understand that there may be some administrative processes involved, and I am willing to cooperate fully to ensure a seamless transfer of care. Please do not misconstrue my decision as a reflection of your skills or competence as a medical professional. I am grateful for the care you have provided, but I believe that my healthcare needs will be better met elsewhere. I sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Thank you again for your time, expertise, and commitment. Kindly acknowledge receipt of this letter and provide any necessary guidance regarding the next steps in transferring my medical records to my new healthcare provider. Wishing you continued success in your medical practice. Sincerely, [Patient's name]
