Dr. Holly,

Thank you for allowing me to listen in on your discussion with Ai’s Genevieve and Marc yesterday.  It was fascinating!  What much of the nation is thinking about and aspiring towards you are doing everyday with remarkable and impressive results.

This came across my email today.  This company (and soon others will follow) take the calls of the follow up nurse and send as automated email.  Surely, nothing can be as strong as the person-to-person follow up. However with hard to reach patients these emails may be another option.
