Hi McPac,
I live in Cincinnati and yes you can have a "copy" of your Dr's records. You can't have the actual records to take home (Dr. is required by law to hold original records) but you have a legal right to copies. They may charge you a small copy fee. I have done this in the past, only when leaving a pdoc - they will argue with you in favor of forwarding the records to your next pdoc so you don't get to see them. I have also received only partial records after making the request. A little note from your lawyer usually clears that up.
Good luck
