Dear Doctor;
This is a place for individuals and physicians to come and explore the patient doctor relationship. It is a place to write to your doctor (without being known or using names) and share what you have found of great help from him or her or what you feel you could use in your (or your loved ones) care. It is a place for the doctor's to participate and answer back or ask questions without being known either if they wish. It is my hope in doing so we can bridge any gaps between the doctor/patient relationship and assist others in understanding what is needed or helpful in finding the best care. (Please note: This is not a place to receive advice or care from a physican. This is just a forum for writing notes about what we have and are learning in our care or that of our loved one.)
