Once you handed those records over to the doctor, they became legally "his" property. He incorporated them into the record made for you at the clinic he works out of. He cannot deny you copies of your record however. You may have to pay a fee to get them copied, but he cannot deny you the information. At least not in the United States. The law is very clear about that. He doesn't have to give you the originals, but he most certainly does have to make copies of it and give those to you.

Usually you will have to sign a HIPPA form from your new doctor, who can then request the records. Most places will not let you just walk in and get copies of your records. This is a law. Sometimes you can get copies, but the original records belong to the doctor. The hospital on the other hand will sell you copies of your records from your stay there.

Actually, the records belong to the doctor. Most facilities will copy them for you, but they charge you for that service. You could go back to the hospital and ask them for your records. They would be more likely to give them to you than your private physician would.

Yeah, usually you have to fill out a form giving specific permission for your doctor to give your records to the other doctor. It's all just protocol.

Those are YOUR records no matter who says they're not. I've been through that before. You will have to sign a release form. But, those are your records.
