Important Notice: Because access to your medical information is important and essential, we will be available to process your requests in person at our Medical Records Office or we can process your requests for release of information remotely. If you have any COVID symptoms or would like service without entering our office, please call us at (559) 791-4714. As we make an effort to protect our patients and employees from the COVID-19 virus, please be advised that you will be screened for COVID-19 upon entering our office and face coverings are mandatory.
Federal HIPPA laws require an authorization to be completed for all medical record requests, unless your provider is requesting them for your care. Because your medical record and the information it contains is confidential, we must confirm your identity before releasing your medical record. Only the patient or his/her legal guardian and/or legal representative can sign the form. You can download the authorization form below.
