Maternity Leave Letter to Patients                                  April 2009
Dear Patients,
I would like to take this opportunity to first of all thank each of you for the continued privilege of assisting you in enhancing your health. I am delighted to tell you that I am expecting my second child in June and I am notifying you that I have commenced a maternity leave.

In an effort to inform you of my maternity leave in a “green” or eco-conscious fashion, I have shared my news with many of you in person at appointments since January 2009 but I also thought it was best to provide all the pertinent information to guide and assist you on my voicemail and website. Therefore my business phone number (416-966-6999) will remain in place during my leave to provide you with information and updates, in addition you will find more detailed information and updates on my website (www.ChristineMathesonND.com). I will check my voicemail regularly and emphasize that I would be more than happy to respond to your calls regarding any non-treatment related questions.

With a sincere commitment to providing you with continued quality care during the course of my leave, I am pleased to be referring you to my well-respected colleague, Zorana Rose, ND. Zorana and I graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine together in 2001. I admire her extremely thoughtful and thorough approach with patients in addition to her skill and genuine passion as a naturopathic doctor. For your convenience, she also practices in the same neighborhood in Toronto where my practice has been located. To learn more about Zorana, please view her website at www.ZoranaRoseND.com and to book an appointment contact her at
416-323-0040. Please be sure to indicate that you have been referred by me as she will need to know this. With your written permission, I can provide her with your file so that she can efficiently and effectively direct your continued naturopathic care.

My website and voicemail will update you as to the exact date of my return to practice which is yet to be determined.

During this interim, I would like to wish you all well and thank you for the kindness and support I have received from many of you already.

Best regards,

Christine Matheson, ND
