This is a terrible place. I have been going here for 15 months due to a work related injury. In that time, the following has been accomplished: 1. Day 1. Diagnosed with hernia. 2. Over a month later, hernia verified. 3. 6 months later, after constant prodding, surgery for the hernia. 4. Pain continues and worsens for months before they finally are motivated, by me, to test. 5. Problem is found with 2 lower vertebra. I was told I would be directed to a pain management doctor. 6. 5 months later, still no appointment with the pain management doctor. Every step of the way, I have had to call, over and over again to initiate any sort of action by Med Center. Every step of the way, I have been told by Med Center that they were waiting on other offices and had done everything that they could. Every time I check in to the issue, I find I have been misinformed and Med Center is the hold up. Either, there is paperwork that has not been sent, calls that have not been made, etc. One example, I was told I would be directed to a pain management doctor in October. Med Center did not contact anyone until February, after I reminded them repeatedly. By March, I had not received any calls. I contacted Asclepius Pain Management Center directly and was told that they had notified Med Center that they were not on the Worker’s Comp network and could not see me. I called Med Center and they told me they were still working with Asclepius. When I told Med Center they were not on the Worker’s Comp network, I was told they would look into it. In the following 3 months I have spoken with Med Center on numerous occasion and been told they are still working with Asclepius. Asclepius informed me on several occasions that they had not spoke with Med Center at all. In fact, Asclepius called Med Center several times to notify them of this. Still, Med Center acts as though the problem is with everyone else. This is exactly the issue I had setting up the initial surgery. If I were to speculate, I would say Med Center is stringing the process out so they can maximize the mandatory monthly check-ups and bill Worker’s Comp. The office is full of a mix of people with actual problems and people just seeking drugs. In the many, many hours I have had to sit in the Med Center waiting room, I have heard a great many stories identical to mine. In 15 months, I have never spoken to an actual doctor. The P.A.s I have seen are as follows: Paul. Aloof, Lethargic, Disconnected, Disengaged, Likes to give noncommittal, short answers to complex questions, is defensive when questioned about the lengthy process of receiving care. Amber. Arrogant, Suspicious, Impersonal, treats me like some kind of drug-seeking addict. Has the office test me to make sure I’m taking my medications almost every time I see her, as if I were selling them. Which is odd considering I asked them to halve the dosage and they did. Why would I do this if I was a drug seeker or selling the prescription? Receptionists: Dismissive, abrupt. Spend most of their time chatting about inappropriate personal issues. When I asked if they would change the channel on the waiting room TV, as a posted sign instructs us to do, they declined and turned up the volume. There are many more reasons to avoid this filthy, unsanitary place, but I’m sure you get the point.

If you need health care, you are better off to go elsewhere. The front office staff is rude and disrespectful, the doctors do not seem qualified, the office administrative staff seems to have no regard for its clients well being, etc., etc. I have gone here out of convenience (location) for years now, and have finally realized that I have wasted hundreds of dollars and hours of good health listening to these yo-yos. I recently starting using Angies List and have found that reviews really do help; thus, this is why I have taken the time to write this. Due to a clerical error, this office refused to fill a prescription for daily seizure medication. They stated that even though they knew it was dangerous for a patient to go without the medication (without, it causes what they call a continuous seizure), they couldnt help because the doctor that mis-wrote the RX was on vacation and another doctor at the office wasnt willing to review ---- mind you, we are talking about an error in spelling. After two (2) weeks without the meds & two (2) weeks without the corrected RX - and going into a g.m. seizure - I woke up and realized that places like this (and people like these employees/doctors) need to be shut down! I hope this helps someone and wish you good luck and health:)

OMG This is the second time I went in as a private pay and the same thing happened. I paid a hundred dollars for an office visit for med refills. Amber tells the nice girl that I need a drug test to make sure I am taking my meds. I do it and pass of course. On my way out they tell me I owe $150.00 more for the test or they wont give me my prescription. I talked to Dr. Chamberlin and he is adamant about charging me. The same thing happened before. I spent the 93.00 it was, and requested my money back. He refused....The worse most unethical man I have ever met is DR. Chamberlin. Amber is a parasite or man hater....DO NOT GO HERE IF you are dying. I am going to pay whatever it takes to find out how many other people/ insurance companies are getting booked by this place. And...wow! Cheyene I am going to build a case on fraud if its my last thing I do and if it costs me thousands. The reviews that are positive about this place I am certain are made by its employees. The front desk girls and nurses are very nice but they are not management. Anyone else please lets get together. I walked out with nothing!

Bad place! They will rip you off and the doctors are PAs. Amber is terrible. Dr. Chamberlin I think was trying to hit on me one time I was here. Im fairly certain he is gay but thats not the issue. BAD BAD PLACE! Dr Jessie and the girls up front and nurses are nice people and do what The evil Doctor greedy Chamberlin say. I am going to sue this place with my last breath for over charging me for nothing. Consumer complaints until...I am pretty sure I have them on fraud. Anyones else please step up and file a class action suit..

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I now know what it’s like to have a real caring doctor. Their staff is great, friendly and spot on. I had injured my arm and they were able to X-rayed it onsite and fast. Try getting that done at any other doctor’s office without having to go to the hospital. I will defiantly return and recommend the Med Center. It’s like having your own doctor that has his own hospital! Thank you Med Center and Staff -AB

My mother went here today and was very pleased with the quality of service. She recently went to a hospital doctor and had to pay an outragious price for the doctor to examine her through a computer. And didnt even do the basic procedures like listen to her lungs, and check her throat and ears. She will go back to Med Center the next time she needs medical help or advice. And the staff was very friendly. Thanks!
