I am in California. Last year, I was involved in a situation that required me to seek medical attention. The situation was emotionally based and caused me to seek psychiatric counseling due to the anxiety.
Late last year, I ended up filing a case in small claims court, and when I requested from my doctor the records of the case for evidence, he was very uncooperative. Although the reason that I sought treatment in the first place was due to the reasons in the case, he stalled, and ended up only giving documentation that I was under his care.
The case in Small Claims was lost, and now the case is going to be filed in a higher court. Everything that I discussed with this doctor revolved around the issues stemming from this case, and I now need all documentation from our sessions. Are there requirements for the notes that were taken during our sessions? How can I demand my own patient records? THus far, I have met with uncooperation.
