Spinoff: Process of switching Dr's

When you switch Dr's - are your files transferred? Do you have to go through the whole work up process again?

I'm thinking about going to Cornell.

They should transfer your files or give you a copy, you just need to sign a release form.

I started my bloodwork at one RE and then switched to Cornell. I just requested a copy of all my medical records.....and said I wanted a copy (b/c I was to afraid to tell them I was switching)



I am going to send you FM about Cornell!

I signed a release and was mailed a copy. GL!!

Not a huge process, just ask for a copy of your files, sign a release form, and your on your way. No need to repeat any of the testing you've already done.

When I switched regular gynos I got a photocopy of everything in my file and was on my way!

I'm like Penny.. i have a 3" binder with copies from every doc... My re charges me for my files.. but i have copies.

Yep, what everyone else said. Cornell will accept all your previous testing. Some things they will make you take again because they need it current or its over a year old. Easy to switch. Some places make you pay for your medical records, which is disgusting because we've given them enough money already. Hopefully not your case. Good luck.
