Asked By:cruisegirl223 in Jackson Township, New Jersey

I am going to a new Dr for a consultation next month. I have had surgeries in the past. My last surgery was a tummy tuck in 2014. Am I allowed to contact my prior surgeons office and ask to have a copy of the before and after pictures that they took of me? DCan the patient have a copy of these photos sent via email or however this is done? How does that work? Would they still have them after all these years?
