Dear [Patient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to inform you about a decision that I, as your physician, have had to make. After careful consideration and assessment of your medical condition, I have come to the difficult conclusion that it is in both our best interests to terminate our physician-patient relationship. This decision has not been taken lightly, and it is based on several factors. One of the primary reasons is that your medical condition requires treatment or expertise that falls beyond the scope of my practice. As a responsible healthcare provider, it is my duty to ensure that you receive the most appropriate and specialized care for your condition. In addition, it is crucial for patients to have a good rapport and trust with their physician. Unfortunately, due to recent events or circumstances, it has become increasingly challenging for us to maintain an effective doctor-patient relationship. It is imperative for your overall well-being that you find a healthcare provider with whom you can establish a strong and trusting bond. As an Illinois physician, it is my obligation to assist you in finding a suitable replacement. I recommend that you seek a referral from your primary care physician or general practitioner. They will be able to help you identify an experienced specialist who can address your specific medical needs effectively. Moreover, ensure that you request a copy of your medical records from our office. These records are essential for your future healthcare providers to understand your medical history and provide you with the necessary care. I have attached a medical records release form to this letter, which you can fill out and send to our office. Once we receive the completed form, we will promptly forward your records to your new healthcare provider. Lastly, I want to emphasize that this decision does not in any way reflect a lack of concern for your health or personal circumstances. As a physician, my primary goal is to provide the best possible care for my patients. I genuinely hope that you find a new physician who can meet your medical needs and establish a strong doctor-patient relationship. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this termination of our physician-patient relationship, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Our staff will be more than happy to assist you in any way they can. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation throughout our time together. It has been a privilege to serve as your physician. Sincerely, [Physician's Name] [Physician's Title] [Medical Practice Name] [Contact Information] Alternate types: Sample Letter for Termination of Physician's Care — Patient to Physician
