I have been waiting 3 weeks for my PCP to send my health records and referral letter to my surgeon. I have my consultation on thursday, but unless the surgeon has my referral and med records he won't see me....

I called by PCP again yesterday morning and they did not send my records out yesterday..

Any advise?

go to their office and tell them you will wait until  you get the records, or better yet, make an appoiintment so you can talk to your pcp. maybe he or she doesn't know what is going on. good luck to you. vick

Yeppers! I agree with what everyone else has told you. Go to the office youself and insist on them giving the paperwork to you. Sounds like this is going to be the only way you will have it in time. Sometimes we have to be assertive for our own wellbeing, and this my dear is one of those times! If 3 weeks hasn't been enough time for them to do this, it'll be doubtful you'll get the paperwork in time now, unless you go there.
Good luck to you!
Keep us posted!

Thank you so much for your advise.  I called again this morning, and was assured that they would not fax the info to my surgeon.  I am going to call them again in the morning and if it is not done, I am going to go on my lunch hr tomorrow and have a face to face.
