A number copied from a search result may be stale; Affiliated Dermatology has the current one. A larger practice may take some documents through a records office, so confirm Affiliated Dermatology still accepts fax for your request. That one verification keeps sensitive pages out of the wrong hands. A confirmed line beats a guessed one on documents this sensitive.

Include the patient's name, date of birth, and the dates of care and record types. The records move once staff verify the authorization and your identity.
Affiliated Dermatology is usually reached at one or two lines that cover the whole office. Even so, a referral, a biopsy report, and a records request may go to different staff on that one line. Ask Affiliated Dermatology which line fits your document to be sure. Which line is right depends on the request, not the office as a whole.
