Gottadoit, I couldn't have said it better. Same thing here. Back a few years ago when OP's all started requiring records, I was a little nervous about asking for them too. My PCP was NO big deal - I just walked into the office (with all three of my kids, which may have sped up the process ), and asked for a copy of the record from my last visit. It took, like, 3 minutes. Then I went to my specialist, who had my TMJ xrays, etc. They didn't want to give them to me. They wanted to check with the doctor and mail them to me in a couple weeks, if he ok'd it. I just looked at the receptionist for several seconds and then said, "they're my medical records of my visits here - I'm not disputing anything. I need them today." And she went and told the office manager or someone that "there's a woman out here who wants copies of her chart?" And I heard the other woman say "well, then give them to her," like it was no big deal. So she gave them to me. I don't see how they could possibly withhold them from you. Anyway, don't worry - it's really not as bad as you think it might be!
