About Me

I'm Christine Durbin, a family nurse practitioner at Phelps Health. My collaborating physician is Family Medicine Physician Rachelle Gorrell, DO.

I see patients of all ages for a variety of conditions, such as diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). I also do wellness checkups.

We all work together to put the patient and their family first at Phelps Health.

My mother and older sister were both registered nurses (RNs), and my father was a medic in World War II. My family inspired me to follow in their footsteps and to join them in the healthcare profession.

I also offer telehealth visits, which allow patients to visit with me remotely using a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and audio-video capabilities.

All of the labs and immunizations that I was due for, I received. Best part is that I received prescription for sleep and I couldn't be happier or more relieved than that!

Doctor visit was good I just couldn't get an accurate estimate on what it would cost to draw blood to check my cholesterol and what ever else they check for , that took a long time

I was seen by Chris Durbin and she was very thorough and attentive. The appointment was not rushed and she took time to answer all of my questions. I would compare the experience to the type of care you'd expect from your best friend.

Christine Durbin is very kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. I am younger getting my annual physicals and she really takes the time to go through everything and ensures all areas are covered even when she "doesn't have to" like with some patients who have more complex needs. They are the longest doctor's appts I have experienced and that is how the healthcare system should be. She is amazing and I hope to see her for primary care as long as possible.

From when you walk in the door and the girls at the reception area, they're very polite. They're very understanding. They listen to you. The nurse that comes and gets you, again, is polite and she's very easy to talk to. And Chris is a very, very good provider.

I was met on time and feel that I was listened to and my concerns were understood. It would not be reasonable to suggest improvement

No words to describe how awesome those people are! They are absolutely the best group of reassuring people I have ever met. Keep up the great work!!

I got a same day appointment for 2 different issues. The nursing staff and check in staff worked together to quickly allow me to provide a urine specimen which made me more comfortable while I waited. Thanks! Both the nurse and the NP were supportive and professional and because of their care I am feeling better. Great clinic that I have personally sent 4 new patients to while enrolled there.

Only one thing comes to mind. We covered many health issues some of which needed to be followed up with lab work to check progress. I had a difficult time keeping it all straight. Thank goodness for "my chart" I'll just check in with Chris to make sure no test is forgotten.

Christine Durbin is a treasure! I and my mother have been seeing her for over 20 yrs and never ever considered finding anyone else in all that time. She listens, believe she cares and if she doesn't have an answer right away, she will get one and contact me with the answer! A TREASURE!
