Based on our own experience, we know back and neck pain patients are often presented with fragmented and ineffective approaches to treatment. Unfortunately, this can result in patients going from one doctor to another with a lack of coordination. We want to streamline care and that’s why we developed The Iowa Clinic Spine Center. We believe our model of care will provide patients, physicians, employers and insurance companies a better option. All of our Spine Center specialists are trained in the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and degenerative conditions of the musculoskeletal system.

Jill Berg, PT has been with The Iowa Clinic since 2012. The Iowa Clinic offers her the flexibility to be active in her children's lives and allows her to grow as a professional with the advancements of medical care and technology. The different specialties at The Iowa Clinic allow for a variety of referrals with ongoing open communication to determine the best course of action for patients. Jill enjoys working with people and educating them on safe and correct movement patterns. She is rewarded by the process of allowing someone to return to their functional level as well as establishing relationships with patients as they regain mobility and improve their quality of life. Every day brings a new challenge as her caseload varies, and the needs of each patient is individualized. Jill works with orthopedic patients, pregnancy-related musculoskeletal conditions, pink ribbon, and general conditions affecting patients of all ages.

Meg Lamparek, ARNP joined The Iowa Clinic because of the patient-first focus and active participation in the surrounding communities. For Meg, ENT can be a challenging but rewarding specialty – from removing ear wax to helping to improve chronic chough and sore throat, she finds all of it to be rewarding. She most enjoys being able to find a care plan that works for the patient and help with ailments that have affected them for years. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and sons, going for hikes, bike rides, and exploring the Des Moines area with family. If she was not a provider and grew up on a farm, she would have been a veterinarian.
