Doctor Excuse Note for School To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to confirm that [Patient’s Name] was seen in my office on [Date of Visit] and was diagnosed with [Illness or Condition]. As a result of this diagnosis, I advised [him/her] to stay home from school until [he/she] has fully recovered.

I am writing to request an excused absence on (Date) as I have a doctor’s appointment that day. (Explain the actual cause and situation). I must look after that appointment for the time being and I do not believe it is fit for me to come to school at this time.
