Does anyone know of a better way to get a hold of medical records from Dr. Shenaq's office....and Baylor? I'm really having a problem with Baylor. I can't get anyone to answer the phone or call me back. It's very frustrating! Ty needs to be seen by Dr. Nath, but they won't see him until I get a copy of his medical records. What do I do??

I've been a member of this site since 1998 and owe a great deal to the wonderful people in the UBPN community who have helped us along the way get what we needed to get done for Tyler. Tyler is now 14 years old and in the 9th grade. He's a super bright kid and loves his video games. Tyler had the mod quad surgery with Dr. Shenaq shortly before he passed. That was his first and only surgery. Now that he is older he is requesting additional surgery. He'd like to be able to supinate. Our goal is for Summer 2013.

If you have a lawyer, have them send a letter, it is easier than trying to fight for them yourself. It will cost you a few bucks but is worth it in the END !!!

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Re: Getting ahold of Medical Records
I think you would be better off putting your request in witting. E-mail them and I also assume since the doctor died that your records should be available without cost.
I wonder if you could have Dr. Nath's office request that your records be transfered to him.
just a thought

Re: Getting ahold of Medical Records
No you SHOULDN"T need a lawyer, but I always had them request my child's at the beginning when getting his records seemed to be impossible, I agree with KATH though, put everything in WRITING !!! I am sure te Dr. Shenaq's office is very overwhelmed with people requsting records. Now, I ask for thge record while at the office, this does two things, it forces the doctor to write everything there in front of you instead of relying on memory, and it makes you sure that you have everything that was ever written on your child. (I have had pages of my record lost because they didn't secure it in the record and when the file clerk put the record away, it got misplaced !!!! GAYLE

Re: Getting ahold of Medical Records
Someone suggested that I talk to Dr. Nath directly. Which I may just try and do. Also, where is Dr. Kozin located at?

I requested my daughter's records from Lisa, at Dr.Shenaq's, and she sent them to us in about a week. We also needed them for Dr.Nath.
