Should Dr. be spelled out in the inside address. Any other grammar/punctuation errors?

Dear Doctor Grant
Retreatment has been completed on your patient, Janet Lee Jackson, on tooth No. 19. As you may know, we evaluated this tooth a year ago when Ms. Jackson was a patient of Dr. Youngblood. She has neglected to treat it until recently when the symptoms returned.
We discussed the options once more; I explained to Ms. Jackson that a fourth canal was definitely present, but the possibility of an apicoectomy also existed. I was also concerned a ledge would be present in the mesial canals and there was an increase in bone loss. She still wanted a retreatment, as opposed to an extraction, an implant or a bridge, so I suggested we file a pretreatment estimate and she could make her decision. Upon receipt of the estimate, she elected to attempt retreatment. The procedure was completed and a fourth canal was located. However, I was unable to get patency in the mesial canals so I recommended a six month recall to monitor the situation. She wants to wait until after the recall to have the permanent build-up placed in case an extraction is needed.
Thank you for referring Ms. Jackson to me. I appreciate your expression of confidence and will do all I can to continue to provide the finest in dental care.
Your inside address is fine -- with Dr. . . .
bridge, so I >> replace comma with a semicolon and delete so
The rest looks good.
