Nurse Appointments

About

 To improve patient access to care, Kleber Health Clinic offers Nurse Appointments for many common health complaints, procedures, and needs. Patients who elect to utilize the Nurse Driven Appointment will see a Kleber Health Clinic nurse in lieu of seeing their usual health care provider. Nurse driven appointments are usually walk-in appointments, but appointments can be made by speaking directly with a Kleber Health Clinic RN.

Nursing staff is unable to project wait times for walk-in appointments due to the unpredictable nature of patient needs. To help alleviate longer than anticipated wait times, patients may contact Kleber Health Clinic Nursing Department at DSN 590 2617 / 2671 or 06371 9464 2617 / 2671 to speak with a Team RN and schedule a time to be seen directly with the nurse. Patients who have pre-scheduled for a nurse appointment will be given priority over those who walk-in unexpected

If the nurse does not answer the Nursing Department phone number during normal business hours of 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., it means the nurse is with another patient, please leave a message and the nurse will call you back. When leaving a message be sure to speak clearly and provide your full name, a good phone number where you can be reached, and a brief explanation of your need
