Still waiting for medical records. What recourse do I have if they never provide the records?

Asked By:ohmaggiemae in Carpentersville, Illinois

It's been over 2 months since I requested the records regarding my facelift w/fat transfer procedure and I still haven't received them. I signed their forms, verified my addresses, and nothing. Is it reasonable for me to feel suspicious about this? How long does it take to produce records? I will make the request again, but what recourse do I have if they never provide the records?
