I tried doing this and the receptionist said they will only release them to another doctor without meeting with me first. I can't get a copy for myself unless he meets with me about them first. Does this seem right? Maybe my state is weird and allows this.
What I don't get is why would he change the dx my old pdoc gave me if he claims he treats symptoms and not a diagnosis? Why would my dx matter to him (why would he give me one) if he sees himself as treating symptoms? I don't understand this. I emailed my T about my frustration and she doesn't see why he changed the dx if he says he treats symptoms either. Any input on this?
