Subject: Referral of Patient

Dear [doctor name],

I hope this letter finds you in good health. I have a patient [mention name] who I would request to be referred to your care for a complete neurological evaluation and care.

I have been treating [patient name] since [mention date] due to [mention medical condition]. At this point in her treatment, I would require his/her comprehensive neurological evaluation. This is because his/her condition has not shown the desired improvement despite all the tests, monitoring, and treatments. This is why I have come to believe that his/her case now requires an examination by a neurologist.

After I looked into [patient name]’s most recent diagnostic result, it became clear that he/she requires a specialized neurological assessment to rule out any issues with the brain that may have gone unnoticed. I trust your knowledge in the field of neurology and would rely on your judgment for the neurological evaluation of [patient] and, if needed, the best care.

I understand you have a very tight schedule, but I would request that you please schedule an appointment with [patient name] as soon as possible and initiate a detailed neurological evaluation. Kindly keep me in the loop regarding all assessments and any possible treatment plans, if need be. Currently, I haven’t prescribed any medications to [patient name], but I shall do so after your evaluation.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to call me at [mention number] or email me at [mention email address].

I am confident that your years of experience and specialized care unit will benefit [patient’s name] in ruling out any of his/her neurological issues, if any.

Thank you for your attention to this referral, and I look forward to collaborating with you in the best interest of our patient’s health.

Sincerely,
