Online Patient Record Request

We now offer an online request tool for the following individuals to request patient records:

  • Patients requesting their own records
  • Patients requesting their own records be sent to someone else
  • Parents of minor patients requesting records
  • Caregivers acting on behalf of a patient (i.e. Power of Attorney)

The online tool verifies your identity by asking for a photo of your driver's license or Government issued identification, which can be taken via webcam or smartphone.  There is no additional charge to use this service.

If you prefer you also have the options to download and print an Authorization for Release of Information Form, or call our Health Information Department at 651-312-1553 to request this form.

IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO USE THE ONLINE TOOL, PLEASE RETURN YOUR COMPLETED & SIGNED RELEASE FORM BY MAIL OR IN PERSON TO

Late Policy

New patients must complete the necessary paperwork prior to their first visit using the online patient portal. If the paperwork delays your appointment start time, your appointment might be canceled at the discretion of the provider.

If a patient arrives past their scheduled time and/or do not have their paperwork completed, their appointment might be canceled at the discretion of the provider.  This is to ensure that the patients who arrive on time do not experience delayed waits to see their provider. If you arrive late, you may be asked to reschedule. If you choose to wait, we will try to minimize your wait time as best as possible, however we need to provide timely care to our other patients as well.
