I've swiched doctors before and I'm pretty sure they transfter your information and your previous health records. Otherwise they wouldn't know anything about you.

At one point, I switched doctors for umm, about 3 years. Things didn't work out with my new doctor so I decided to go back to my old doctor. They still had my files. So I'm guessing they keep them for a while. They might throw them away at some point but my doctor kept mine for 3 years while I wasn't seeing him.
