Patient comments for Lisa A. Rinker MD

Very professional

I like my provider I only wish it were easier to get appointments in a more timely manner.

Dr. Rinker is an excellent primary care provider, always listens, always follows up, making me feel like she really cares about my health and health conditions. My wife and I both see her.

My most recent visit with Dr. Rinker went extremely well. I appreciated how she listened to what I had to say on what I researched on my own and Incorporated that Into the treatment plan that I was able to feel like I had a say In. Always very pleasant to see her.

Dr. Rinker utilizes the limited time for appointments as efficiently and skillfully as possible. She is responsive and zeroes in on issues immediately and offers good suggestions and recommendations.

Very knowledgeable, patient and personable

Lisa Rinker is the best doctor I have ever had! I had fully intended to continue with her following our move to Longview, WA. However, when your Urgent Care here would not see me because my doctor is in Vancouver, and no same day appointments were available in Vancouver, it became obvious this wasn't possible. I am extremely saddened to leave her care, but I have no choice

Best health care provider I have had in my long life!!

Excellent

Dr Rinker is compassionate and caring.She listens to me and shows concern for my overall health needs
