Effective immediately, we have retained Cariend, a medical records custodian, to manage our records for the next 10 years.

Cariend is not a medical provider and does not handle billing, medications, or referrals for the closed practice.

Requestors should be prepared to complete the Records Release Authorization Form and provide a copy of government-issued photo ID, as required by HIPAA.

The fastest way to process requests for copies of medical records is to visit Cariend’s website and follow the instructions posted here:
