    Years and years ago there was a massive falling out with the Dr's at the local Dr's surgery and a letter was sent out to all the patients stating what was happening (that one Dr was leaving to start a new practice) and you had to sign a release form for your medical records to leave that building and go with him to the new building if you wanted to continue having him as your Dr. Patient records 'belong' to the building.

    Yeah, I'd say they're at the same clinic, not with the doctor.

    If you want to follow the doctor, you'll need to sign a release.

    My GP has moved clinics about 5 times in the last 20 years. Each time, I sign a release sending my file with her.
