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??

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 !!!

No lawyer. Just trying to get them so Dr. Nath know's what Ty has had done. Do I need a laywer to get his 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

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

Someone suggested that I talk to Dr. Nath directly. Which I may just try and do. Also, where is Dr. Kozin located at?

Dr. Kozin is at the Shriner's Hospital in Philadelphia

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.
