How to Request Records from Our Practice
Keeping track of your health records can be overwhelming, but we want to streamline the process as much as possible, for you and us, as well. Copies of all digital documents that you sign for our practice are available for you to download and view in the client portal. Roots & Wings stores your private health information in a secure system, and you can request that we prepare and share this information with you, your other health care providers, or other third parties to whom you give specific permission. Â
We are committed to maintaining the privacy and security of your personal health information. To request documents or records from our practice, please complete the Document Request Form by clicking the button below labeled “Complete a Document Request Form.” Once your form is submitted, our administrative team will begin processing your request.
Please note: If you are requesting that your records be released to someone other than yourself, a Release of Information (ROI) will also be required. This form will be sent to you via the SimplePractice Client portal after we receive your document request. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us handle your information securely and efficiently.
