Lori Ruman, CRNP

Lori has been my healthcare provider for over a decade, and I have always been impressed by her kindness, empathy, and professionalism . I look forward to our appointments and appreciate her exceptional care.

At our first appointment, she inserted an IUD, then had me do a vaginal ultrasound to check the placement, and she had inserted it too low. Said we should wait a month to see if it would “migrate upwards”. We checked the placement in a month and it was still too low so she said it had to be replaced. The ultrasound tech said we could do the next insertion under ultrasound guidance to make sure it was in the right place. I come back for my next insertion and Lori had me in a regular exam room, not the ultrasound exam room. I told her I thought we were doing this insertion under ultrasound guidance. She said no, she’s going to insert it again and then they’ll check the placement afterwards again. I insisted that I wanted ultrasound guidance, but she said no again and just inserted it without the ultrasound guidance. They checked the placement again and she inserted it too low again. I ended up having to get it inserted by a different doctor. She does not care about you, do not see her.

By far the worst experience I have ever had with a doctor. I had bounced around from doctors for over two years trying to find a diagnosis. I was referred to Dr.Maybaugh but instead got her assistant, Lori. By far the most condescending person I have ever met hands down. Provided absolutely no intelligent input. My first appointment I left extremely upset and when I decided to give her another chance I left sobbing in the middle of my appointment. I wouldn’t recommend her to my worst enemy.

Lori is fantastic and I highly recommend her services! I have been receiving great care from her for about 15years now. Another NP recommended Lori when I was new to Boise and didn’t know who to see. I have always found her to be warm, caring and informative. She exceeds expectations and I highly recommend her care!

Literally the worst experience I've ever had with a doctor. She had an attitude from the moment she walked in. She was dismissive when I stated that I needed new asthma medication or I would end up in the ER again, then said, "I thought we were here to discuss your anxiety". Like I'm not allowed to discuss more than one health concern in an appointment? I have never before contemplated walking out of a doctor's office mid-appointment, but Dr. Ruman was jut awful. Will not go back.
