Dr. Lisa M. Rankin, MD 900 Southeast Ocean Boulevard, Stuart, FL 34994

"Dr. Rankin relocated to Stuart so our family had to change primary care doctors.We live in PSL so we needed a doctor closer. Broke my heart when she left. Best doctor I have ever had. I trusted her so much,even with my 80 year old mom and my children. Miss her terribly. She spoke to me like a real person,and cared."

"I've been with her a while now and I love her. She's intelligent helpful and responsive. Her and her office make my appointments easy and very functional. I always have a good experience. So good that I needed to come give her a 5 star review. I'm so grateful for her help."

"AVOID THIS OFFICE. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Rankin to receive professional guidance and treatment for symptoms I have been experiencing. It should also be noted that her clinic does not accept insurance so the initial consult is $200 that you have to pay prior to the virtual appointment. Our original consultation went really well. I discussed what was going on with me personally, and she seemed very receptive. She ended our appointment with an at home assignment for me to complete so she would be able to correctly diagnose and treat me appropriately. I emailed the assignment back within the following day or two and contacted the front desk via text (which is the only way to communicate with them) to confirm they received it. Dr. Rankin also requested that I get a EKG. I am currently in dental school so it's difficult for me to make appointments. I was finally able to complete that about two weeks after our appointment and again confirmed with the front desk that they have received it. One week goes by- no response. So I politely check in to see if there was any feedback with my diagnosis. She states that she will get back to me shortly. Another week goes by- no response back. I text back again to let them know i still have not heard anything. NO RESPONSE. I text again the following day- NO RESPONSE. I never heard from them again. So I spent $200 on a consult with Dr. Rankin and then followed her request for an EKG which was another $200 and never heard from Dr. Rankin or her office again. I tried to make another appointment online to speak with Dr. Rankin directly and they denied my request for an appointment. I'm not completely sure what went wrong or why she decided to ignore me after seeking her help. I was never rude or pushy. I honestly was at a loss for words on how I was treated. She made me feel like I wasn't worth her time and she didn't want to help me. Anyway- point being- if you want actual medical advice and treatment this is NOT the place. There are a lot of other great holistic and general practitioners in the area that communicate well and have your best interest at heart. Just look a little further than Dr. Rankin, do your research, and you'll end up right where you belong without wasting $200 on a useless appointment."

"I can generally agree with the reviews here thus far. You'll note one contributor, Bach, has scathing reviews for ALL other physicians, so that one seems unfair. Dr. Rankin does order thorough bloodwork, but that is the "whole" in "holistic." This procedure discovered a previously undiagnosed chronic viral condition that I have been struggling with for twenty years that should have (?) been obvious to other doctors. I do agree that there seems to be a disconnect with the office staff and that communication is different in this office. I know she is working on it. I find that if you just contact her through the Klara system that they use (through your phone/computer), you do get a response within 12 or so hours, even on weekends. Many doctors are turning to the pay-up-front method because of the nightmare of American insurance, so that's not necessarily unusual. I have not personally experienced long waits, but I also find that to be somewhat standard in modern doctor offices, sadly. Dr. Rankin herself is very kind and attentive. She is knowledgeable and will be thorough in her testing so that she/you can get a full picture of what is and what might be going on. She is not going to just send you off with a bottle of pills (prescribed based on which pharmaceutical company is giving the best vacation at the moment) and will create a planned course of action that can and will be adjusted based on successful results. I have had other, "traditional," doctors raise an eyebrow to her methods, but I independently confirmed through research into the formal studies completed for my issue that she was spot-on. Every experience and perspective is different, of course, but if you're tired of the same, ineffective, prescription-driven medical care that we have in this country, I strongly recommend that you give her a try."

"Dr. Rankin is a kind, diligent, and professional physician. I was suffering from a bacterial infection that went unnoticed for months despite multiple hospital workups. She is always there to assist should I need help and is available for telemedicine visits which is a plus. I see a lot of people complaining about her staff/communication. She is seeing patients all day and her small staff is assisting in-office patients. Her system is simple. You want an appointment? Call and leave a message or email her team. They will respond without leaving you on hold unnecessarily. After you get your appointment you will be able to lab results and info via their online portal. She allows for month or year long appointments. I don't know what else to say other than that these people must be pretty old school. Overall fantastic physician"
