Which Doctor/Medical Group is Responsible for Your Records
Sorry to hear of your travails in acquiring records that are legally yours. Since the doctors who treated you were part of the the Tri-County Orthopedic Group, I would think Tri-county are legally responsible for maintaining those records. Perhaps a threat of legal action might motivate them to seriously try to find your records.
BTW, I had a similar experiences in the past. To end theses, I insist my PCP, in referring me to a specialist, "demand" a copy of all medical records generated From from my visit. In general this has working well.
PS: if Tri-County is a member of The Village Health System, TVHS has promised, to have all your records computerized, and available to any member.
I hope this helps.
