Desmond T. Doss Health Clinic, Tripler Army Medical Center and the Warrior Ohana Medical Home utilizes a Central Appointment System that allows a patient to dial just one number to make appointments with several clinics. Patients should not expect to see a doctor without an appointment, except for emergencies and during announced walk-in clinic hours.
The central appointment line is menu-driven. This allows you to direct your call to the appropriate clinic appointment clerk, by choosing from several main menu choices, then choosing from other series of menu choices, to contact the specialty clinic or office you want.
Family members should have their sponsor's social security number and other required DEERS information available when they call for an appointment. Appointment personnel may ask the caller questions to help them evaluate the health situation of the person requiring care,so that they receive the appropriate care.
Making Appointments
