Can you explain, please, why this sentence is incorrect: "Please, ask the doctor for my test results if you see her." At least in the answers it's marked as a sentence with a mistake. Thank you.

I wouldn't have used a comma after Please but apart from that nothing.
Was this in answer to a particular question or part of a longer paragraph?

There was just a sentence. The grammar topic is conditional sentences. I feel that the style can be inappropriate but can't explain what exactly is wrong.

That's because it's not wrong.

ps. Welcome to the forum, Moksha. :hi:

Sorry, your response was helpful, and I didn't notice it was your first post.

In my opinion, the comma isn't necessary but it's not incorrect. I can't find anything else wrong.
