The People Behind the Practice
Meet the Team
Physician-led. Clinician-supported. Every person in this practice is here because they believe the standard of care can be higher.
Clinical Leadership
Dr. Brian Lamkin
DO
Founder and Medical Director
Dr. Brian Lamkin founded The Lamkin Clinic in Edmond, Oklahoma in 2007, following nearly a decade as Medical Director of a traditional family medicine practice in Oklahoma City. He holds a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his residency in Family Medicine at St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City.
He is Board Certified in Family Medicine, a Certified Age Management Medicine Physician, and one of the few IFM-certified Bredesen-protocol physicians in the central United States. With more than 25 years of clinical practice, his work centers on functional medicine, hormone optimization, peptide therapy, regenerative medicine, and advanced metabolic diagnostics.

Deb Lamkin
RD, LD, CDE
Co-Founder, Dietitian and Clinic Coordinator
Deb Lamkin co-founded The Lamkin Clinic alongside Dr. Lamkin in 2007. She holds a B.S. in Dietetics from the College of Nutrition and Health Science at Minnesota State University, Mankato, and began her career at St. Michael's/Hillcrest Hospital in Oklahoma City before moving into private nutrition counseling and clinical research coordination at COR Clinical Research.
Deb is a Registered and Licensed Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator. Her clinical focus is functional nutrition, women's metabolic health, and the intersection of diet and hormone balance. Her protocols at the clinic are grounded in the same root-cause methodology that drives the medical side of the practice.
Her perspective is shaped in part by personal experience. Diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at 30, she resolved her condition through functional nutrition and immunotherapy protocols, then built a practice around helping patients do the same. She also holds a certificate of training in adult, adolescent, and pediatric weight management from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Clinical and Patient Care Support
Jessica J.
Patient Care Coordinator
Jessica manages the patient experience from first contact through ongoing care. Her background in customer service gives her a practical foundation for navigating the logistics of a complex medical practice, and her approach to patients is direct, warm, and detail-oriented. Patients who interact with Jessica regularly describe the same thing: they feel handled, not processed.
Kimberly S.
Phlebotomist and Medical Assistant
Kim brings more than 23 years of phlebotomy experience to the clinical floor. At a practice that runs comprehensive lab panels as a core diagnostic tool, that level of technical precision matters. Her approach is patient-focused by habit: she reads the room, adjusts her pace, and consistently delivers a clinical experience that earns patient trust over time.
Miranda W.
Communication Specialist
Miranda handles patient communication with an emphasis on clarity and attentiveness. In a practice where patients often arrive with complex histories and high expectations, the quality of communication between visits carries real clinical weight. Miranda understands that and approaches every interaction with genuine attention rather than a script.
Cheryl M.
Communication Specialist
Cheryl manages patient inquiries with a combination of clinical knowledge and genuine care for the people on the other end of the conversation. Her ability to handle complex or sensitive patient questions with both accuracy and empathy reflects the standard the clinic holds across every point of patient contact, not just inside the exam room.
What Every Person on This Team Is Here to Do
- Best Possible Care Medicine at the level each patient actually deserves, not the level the system makes easiest to deliver.
- Optimal Outcomes The goal is not managing a condition indefinitely. The goal is changing the underlying picture.
- Clinical Honesty We tell patients what the data shows, including when the answer is more complicated than they hoped.
- Privacy Patient information is handled with the discretion this practice was built around.
- Respect Every person who walks through this door is treated with the dignity that competent, attentive care requires.
- Continuity The team you meet on your first visit is the team you work with long-term. That consistency is intentional.
