Dear [recipient's name]:

My neighbor has been taking her three children to your pediatric office for two years, and I have heard excellent feedback from her regarding the attentive care her children have received during that time. I am considering changing from my children's current pediatrician to your office and would like to gather some information before I do.

What is the stance of the doctors in your office regarding vaccinations? How much expertise do you have in managing ADHD and dietary allergies? Do you have evening or weekend appointments available?

Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to receiving your responses.

Sincerely,

[Signature]
