The right number depends on which staff should receive the document. The referring physician's office often already has the correct Advanced Foot & Ankle fax on file.

File a signed authorization with the office's records staff. Advanced Foot & Ankle verifies your identity before releasing the record. A complete request — identifiers, dates, and records wanted — moves fastest. They release the copies to the recipient you named after processing.
As a foot and ankle office, Advanced Foot & Ankle usually runs one working fax at the front desk, with records or the surgery-scheduling desk sometimes on a second line at a busier practice. One number does not mean one desk — the routing is by staff, not machine. Check with Advanced Foot & Ankle so the fax reaches the right person. Sending to the wrong desk only delays the document.
