How to Address a Letter to a Doctor

Video Transcript

"Addressing a letter to professionals with title can be a little bit confusing, but let's learn more about that. Hi, I'm Hazely Lopez from Hazely Academy of Refinement and Modeling and I'm here to help you how to address a letter to a doctor. All right. Well, first, we're going to make sure that you understand that when you're addressing to a doctor, you want to make sure that you're using their title at all times. You can use Dr. John Smith, and that will be fine, or you can just go ahead and use Dr. Smith. When you are actually writing a letter, you're going to be using the first line to put Dr, first name and last name. For example, Dr. John Smith, and then in the next letter you're going to be putting the address. And that's going to be the street or the numbers or the apartments, or anything like that, the suite or the office. And then in the third line, you're going to be putting the city, state, and zip code. If you are addressing more than one doctor in one correspondence in one letter, you're going to be basically doing "Dr. John Smith and Dr. Emily Smith." If they are both from the same sex, if they are both males, you may want to do two things. Either do one letter and then separately, or do it in order of alphabet. All right, well, that's how you address a letter. I'm Hazely Lopez from Hazely Academy of Refinement and Modeling, and always remember, use your handwriting. Don't use labels."
