Bio
Dr. Linda Stallings is a board-certified nephrologist with over two decades of experience providing comprehensive kidney care in the Gulf Coast region. A trailblazer from the start, she entered medical school directly from high school as part of the University of Missouri–Kansas City’s prestigious accelerated program. She completed her internship, residency, and nephrology fellowship at Washington University’s Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri—one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers.
Since relocating to Pensacola in 1999, Dr. Stallings has remained deeply committed to her community. She initially practiced with Medical Center Clinic before co-founding Nephrology Associates of the Gulf Coast in 2005. In 2025, Nephrology Associates of the Gulf Coast joined Renalus Center for Kidney Care, expanding access to high-quality, patient-focused nephrology services.
Dr. Stallings is licensed to practice in Florida and Alabama, and serves as Medical Director for DaVita and Fresenius dialysis clinics. While trained in conventional Western medicine, Dr. Stallings approaches care with an open mind toward complementary and homeopathic therapies. She is especially passionate about helping patients make informed decisions—frequently reminding them, “Don’t get your information from Google.”
Outside the clinic, Dr. Stallings enjoys life beyond medicine with her husband, a classical guitar professor, and their son. In her free time, she loves hiking, cooking Southern and Korean cuisine, reading British murder mysteries, and binge-watching detective shows. She's also a proud amateur collector of all things Star Wars and The Hobbit.
