“Act as an experienced physical therapist who writes professional correspondence to referring physicians. Draft a referral acknowledgment letter for a physician who just referred a patient to me. The letter should: thank them for the referral, confirm I received it and have scheduled the patient, briefly outline my initial assessment plan (evaluation, treatment approach I'm considering), mention I'll send a full progress update after the first few visits, and invite them to contact me with questions. Keep the tone warm, professional, and collaborative. Make it 3-4 short paragraphs and under 200 words. Leave placeholders like [Physician Name], [Patient Name], [Diagnosis], and [Scheduled Date] so I can fill in the specifics.”
