Dear Doctor/Colleague:

I am an orthopedic spine surgeon practicing in the Baltimore/Washington area. I graduated from Harvard Medical School and completed a residency in orthopedic surgery at UCLA, and a spine surgery fellowship at the State University of New York at Buffalo. I am writing this letter to introduce you to Dr. Rustin Glass, a chiropractor who is relocating to the Lancaster, Pennsylvania, region.

For the past three years I have worked together with Dr. Glass on common patients who suffer from back, neck and other musculoskeletal problems. Most patients will benefit from a source of conservative nonsurgical treatment. Data from the North American Spine Society documents that over half of the patients with back or neck problems will eventually see a chiropractor at some point. My patients who have been treated by Dr. Glass have had only the most positive remarks regarding his care.

Dr. Glass is an exceptional chiropractor. He is thorough and comprehensive in his examination and diagnosis of patients. Should any of his patients have evidence of neurologic impingement, he will immediately call the referring physician or family doctor. Not only does he practice traditional chiropractic manipulative therapy, but he also emphasizes modalities, exercises, rehabilitation, and a comprehensive physical therapy program. Most importantly, his patients are impressed by this thoroughness in answering all of their questions and conveying complicated medical information in an easy to understand manner. I have been confident that my patients will be well taken care of by Dr. Glass, and that as the referring physician, his skill and compassion will reflect well back on me.

In summary I fully recommend Dr. Glass as a trusted and experienced chiropractor who will be an asset to the Lancaster medical community. Your patients will thank you for their referral to an excellent chiropractor.

Sincerely,

Lawrence S., M.D.
