What happened is my old dentist got into a fight with his
associate over apparently if his patients were his or the practices'.
My dentist somewhow tried to sell his part of the practice to another
dentist after meeting him one time in a resturnt. after he left town
then the associate who actually may have rightfully owned the entire
practice somehow worked with
the person the practice was sold to to completely transfer all patients
records. Aparently more than one were missing and I was
even told that my dentist had stored his records in his secretaries
apartment and tried to break into the dental office
at midnight maybe to get records, after being locked out.
Or maybe he broke into the office and then stored copies or
the original records in his secretaries apartment.
Anyway, that new dentist then sold his practice to another dentist
after a few years who now has all my old dentists records in storage. i
checked with his office after having my amalgam removed and my moms and
sisters were there but mine were missing. Meanwhile the associate had
since retired and when i called him
up he told me that he threw out all his copies of my old dentists
records since the legal time limit had passed.
