General Patient Form
Here is a link to our Patient Health History form. We have you fill this out when you come in for a "new patient appointment" or if your last appointment with one of our doctors was more than a year ago. You may find it helpful to review the information we ask for, or fill this out in advance and bring it with you to your appointment.

If we have your records, we will ask you to sign and date a consent form for us. Our fax number for release of patient records is 970-493-0521.
We have two forms for patients to use -- one if they want to receive their records themselves, and a second if they want OCR to send their records to another doctor, clinic, etc.
Consent Form To Receive Your Own Records
Consent Form For OCR to Send Your Records to Another Doctor/Clinic/Etc
We keep patients' charts for about 8 years. If your surgery or office appointments are older than that, it is possible we no longer have your records.
If you had surgery at an area hospital, the hospital may have your old chart. Check with their medical records department. If your file is still available, you will need to sign a release form for the hospital.
