My old dentist denying to forward my records/x-rays
So about seven months ago I went to this one dentist that did X-rays cleaning the first visit and then I when back for a filling. I really did not like him but I continue to go to him for the filling. Then not even a week later my tooth he did a filling on started to hurt once again.
I told them this and they coped an attitude with me. So I wanted to go to a different dentist. In order not to have dental X-rays done again since I do not have coverage for them twice in a year I told the office I wanted my X-rays forward to the new office. In which case they stated they will not until I pay off the balance of what due.
My insurance will pay them but they want it now if I what my X-rays to be forwarded to the new office. Can they do this? I am really upset now I feel they are trying to force me to go back to them to fix something they should have done right the first time. How do I get my X-rays.
