LOR without Letterhead

[premed123321]

I'm reaching out for some advice on a letter of recommendation. One of the doctors I was hoping to request a letter from recently left the clinic where I worked with them (not on good terms)

While they'd be willing to write a strong letter for me, they wouldn't be able to use the clinic's letterhead. I'm wondering if a letter without the letterhead would still hold weight in my application, or if I should look for another recommender.

Anyone can create their own letterhead on their home computer at the top of their recommendation letter.
