Dear [recipient's name]:

I just wanted to write and let you know how much my family and I appreciate your medical care. The recent illnesses that we experienced were really stressful and difficult, as you know, and we so appreciate your competent and reassuring care. You made a major difference and helped the situation to turn out so positively. We also really appreciate you being available when I needed to call you a couple of times during the evening and on the weekend.

Thank you again for being there for us and for helping us get through a rough patch in our lives. We appreciate you immensely.

Sincerely,

[Signature]
