You are correct. Until now, we weren't aware that state and federal law requires patients be notified of the sale, disposition of records, etc. This appears to be done by mail. We haven't received notification yet by any means.
We both really like Dr. Tafur and Lauren and have seen them for well over a decade. And we wish them nothing but the best. That said, with both of us having upcoming appointments, we feel put on the spot and being nudged towards seeing Dr. Thompson, who we do not know. I'm not opposed to seeing him once, but my better half has serious reservations.
We'll figure this out soon. Again our best wishes to Doc and Lauren.
