Lori Ruman, CRNP, NP-C, moved to Idaho from the San Francisco Bay Area in 1981, drawn by her love of skiing and a desire for new adventures. She initially settled in Boise before relocating to Pocatello to study Nutrition and Dietetics with a minor in Biology at Idaho State University (ISU). While at ISU, she was inspired by Nurse Practitioner Carol Morgan's unique and personable approach to healthcare, solidifying her decision to pursue a career as a Nurse Practitioner.
After earning her Bachelor of Science in Dietetics and Biology, Lori fast-tracked her nursing degree, joining the first NP class at ISU. As a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, she chose to specialize in Women's Health. Over her 25-year nursing career, Lori has found immense satisfaction in caring for women through all stages of their lives, and feels honored when patients entrust her with the care of their daughters and granddaughters. She values truly knowing her patients, understanding their medical histories and psychosocial environments. Her particular interests include preventive women's health, menopausal management, young women's health, and health education, with a focus on STD prevention and contraception.
Outside of her practice, Lori embraces the vast Idaho outdoors, enjoying activities like skiing, river adventures, biking, and gardening. Music is also a passion she incorporates into her daily life. She is a proud mother of two boys and two active dogs—a swimming-loving Border Collie and a Chihuahua/Boston mix who acts as a lifeguard—often found by a river or pond.
Liked her a lot
She offered no help, felt very much like she didn’t want any to be there or treat me. With this being my first pregnancy I was hoping she would be more helpful but she wasn’t.
Very nice and easy to talk too
Puts you quickly at ease. Explains things clearly and thoroughly. Highly recommend.
Lori was terrific!
Exceptional customer service. Very personable. I did not feel rushed during my visit at all. She made me feel safe and heard.
I feel so lucky to have Lori Ruman. Competent and lovely personality.
Spent quality time with me and answered all my questions.
I came in to discuss a right breast mass that has been followed for years however, I felt like Lori was shrugging her shoulders and refusing to request further test. As a patient, it’s very important to being heard and my health is very important and it seriously. I felt like I wasn’t being listened to.
I felt Lori was really annoyed and uninterested the entire appointment. I was talking about things I was confused about or miscommunicated such as appointment scheduling for my abnormal paps, a potential vaccine, and intravaginal ultrasound and it felt like there was no recognition of the confusion I’ve been experiencing and it felt like there was a lack of concern or care about my symptoms and issues I’ve been experiencing. I actually started crying during the appointment and Lori didn’t acknowledge me or ask me if I was okay. It was very concerning to see that lack of care for my emotional well being. I am a provider myself and it felt shocking since I can only guess there’s extreme burn out occurring for her to care that little about me. She seemed like she wanted the appointment over as quick as possible and felt it was unnecessary and or she was mad at me for being confused about the communication regarding my treatment plan.
