I have just found out that they do not have my records, they say they where sent somewhere else but my doctors service said that if I wanted to pick up my records they would be at the new location. This happened in Cincinnati, Ohio. Does anyone know if there is any case law in Ohio that covers matters like this as far as recourse goes? This represents my whole medical history, 55 years.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Legally, those records belong to the doctor, not to you--he created them, he owns them. The law requires that he keep them confidential but he also is required to maintain them for a reasonable period of time. Apparently, under Ohio law, you have the right to have copies made of those records at a reasonable cost. See links below.
