Tlc Medical Center

I have had Dr Lundquist as my GP FOR WELL OVER 15 years at TLC and could not find a more caring doctor! His staff is always so kind and professional. He doesn’t ever try to rush you and always has good referrals to specialist if need one. He is always on top of the latest meds and proceeded. Would not leave this doctor and staff.

I have been coming here or years! Even though I moved out of the area, I still keep coming to see Dr. Lundquest, and Jenny. There great, they listen, and actually take the time to figure out what’s going on. The staff are all amazing and friendly! I honestly can’t say how amazing this office is. Wouldn’t trade them for anything … Not even Dr. Oz.

I have been seeing Dr. Chamberlin for over a year now. Dr. Chamberin seems like a very competent physician who have done at great job at monitoring my chronic condition. She is really good at explaining things and seems to be current with the latest research. Not only is she a competent physician, but i really appreciate her bedside manner. I’ve been to many physicians who are brilliant but talk down to you or get upset when you ask questions. Dr. Chamberin is very engaging and personable. Highly recommend.

I have been receiving care from TLC Medical center since I was an infant and have never had anything but positive things to say about the nursing staff and practitioners. I used to have a different care provider there and since Dr. Chamberlin has come on board I only see her. She is a welcome addition to the team and I have the utmost of confidence in her ability as my care provider.
I have Celiac myself, and through Dr. Chamberlin’s constant and methodic testing she accurately diagnosed me. She was in fact, the ONLY Physician that took the time to see me multiple times and review multiple tests with me.
And as for what your idea is of what kind of tests you feel you should have had: i did not read that you were a Dr. and if you were you would know that there is a process to every diagnosis whether it be Celiac or the common cold. An allergy panel is the first step to diagnosing Celiac amongst other types of tests. And you are correct, an allergy panel does not diagnose Celiac but it does diagnose a wheat/​gluten allergy. There are several forms of being gluten intolerant: gluten sensitivity, gluten allergy and then Celiac. You cannot get straight to the celiac without ruling out the other two. And BTW, most insurance companies are not going to let you go get surgery without the proper testing before, why would they let you get tested for celiac right away without doing the required tests before?
If it weren’t for Dr. Chamberlin following through with her methods and insisting that i continue to get more tests, i would not have been properly diagnosed. She is the best Primary Care Physician i’ve had. She is always professional and thorough in her exams.

Dear Amanda,
As much as I welcome constructive criticism, perhaps using a public forum such as this to deem me «inept» is a tad inappropriate.
I’m sorry that you were unhappy with the care you received in my clinic but there are several ways to diagnose Celiac disease which include bloodwork (which can correct on a gluten free diet but not usually when symptoms are still present) and biopsy of the intestine (which is usually not first line because it’s more invasive than a blood test). However, we also refer for food allergy testing to just make sure that there is nothing else the gut may be reacting to, and, yes, wheat gluten can be part of a routine allergy panel. As for the ANTI-​spasmotic medication, this is used to treat people symptomatically so that they may at least feel better while we’re trying to nail down their exact diagnosis.
With all of my patients (and you were no exception), I try to be very thorough in my work up. I certainly encourage open dialogue and questions as you may have found out if you would have bothered to come back and talk to me in person about your issues with my care. That being said, I’m happy you have your diagnosis and are feeling better.
Dr. Janine Chamberlin

Wow. Dr. Janine Chamberlin is a completely inept doctor. I recommend if you’re looking for a GP, don’t go here. I came here for a visit earlier in the year because of food allergy symptoms — I had gone on a GF diet to see if the symptoms had cleared up which they did, and wanted to talk to her about getting tested for Celiacs, as my mother has it. Now I told her doing bloodwork at that time would not be conclusive as you have to be eating gluten to get properly tested — she insisted this was not the case and I probably just had IBS.
She then preceded to refer me to a food allergist and give me a SPASMODIC prescription for when I ate something that made me sick, just take that.
First off, the woman does not know anything about Celiacs, clearly, and should not be telling people inaccurate information and doing faulty bloodwork tests. Second, don’t give people prescriptions for unnecessary things — if something makes you sick when you eat, don’t eat it, don’t take unnecessary pills with god knows what in it. Third, a food allergist does not do Celiacs testing.
300 dollars in copays later (I am still getting billed 7 months later for this horrendous visit), I urge you to not go to this joke of a doctor.
