PUBLIC NOTICE OF MEDICAL PRACTICE CLOSURE After 39 years of dedicated service, Birmingham Royal Oak Medical Group will permanently close its practice on June 26, 2026. Dr. Mumtaz George and our entire team want to express our deepest gratitude for the privilege and opportunity to serve your healthcare needs for nearly four decades. We thank you for your trust and support throughout the years, and we wish each of you continued health and happiness. To ensure continuity of care, please contact your insurance provider or use their directory to identify in-network primary care providers in your area. Should any urgent or emergency medical needs arise while you are transitioning to a new provider, please visit a local urgent care clinic or emergency room. Effective June 26, 2026, we have retained Cariend, a medical records custodian, to manage the records for the next 10 years. Cariend is not a medical provider and does not handle billing, medications, or referrals for the closed practice. Requestors should be prepared to complete the Records Release Authorization Form and provide a copy of government-issued photo ID, as required by HIPAA. The fastest way to process requests for copies of medical records is to visit Cariend's website and follow the instructions posted here: https://www.cariend.com/request-records/. If you do not have access to a computer or internet, Cariend can be reached by phone at 404-991-7080 - please note the HIPAA laws do not allow medical records to be released based on a phone or email request. If you prefer to mail your completed Authorization Form and Government-issued Photo ID: Cariend ROI PO Box 1866 Thomasville, GA 31799-1866. If you have questions about the process, Cariend can also be contacted via email at Request@Cariend.com however, you should not send sensitive personal information or request documents through email.
