I would call the lab and say that you are assembling records to take to a new doc and you need the lab reports. Then ask them to fax or mail you a release form. Even better is if there is an office you can go to in person to get the form filled out and signed. Was this done at a hospital? If so, there is a central medical records office you can go to.

Thank you, yes I am in the US (Texas). The LP was done at the Dr's office, still doesn't the Dr's office send file to a central medical records office of some kind? I was just thinking this is how we got most of our kids shot records after we moved. Maybe the immunization records are different.
