Nikki Lopez
Nurse Practitioner at Kleiman Healthcare Services
Nikki Lopez, FNP-C
Before she ever wore a white coat, Nikki knew she wanted to work in spaces where people are seen and cared for without judgment. She began her career in 2008 at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio (one of the busiest hospitals in the region).
It wasn’t easy, but it taught her that being present, listening fully, and showing steady hands could change the way people experience healthcare.
Over the next 15 years, she worked in specialties that shaped how she approaches every patient today:
- ENT
- Respiratory care
- Orthopedics
- Cardiology
- Oncology
- Family medicine and home health care nursing services
- Organ transplant
- Primary care
This broad clinical experience gave her more than just knowledge; it also provided her with valuable insights. It gave her perspective. She knows what it’s like to walk beside someone through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
As an African American nurse practitioner, Nikki brings not only clinical expertise but also a deep understanding of the cultural and systemic factors that can affect access to care. She completed her Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University and is certified by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. But what truly defines her work is how she shows up for her patients: with calm, care, and clarity!
She moved to Oregon in 2018 with her husband and soon became involved with her local community clinic. She also began working with veterans across Oregon and Washington, many of whom were facing addiction, homelessness, or both. That work remains close to her heart.
Today, Nikki provides care exclusively through video visits, walk-in visits, and telemedicine at Kleiman Healthcare Services. Whether it’s a check-in or a chronic condition that needs careful follow-up, she meets patients with medical care that feels clear, grounded, and personal.

What Our Customer Says
"Naz is an angel. She has been so supportive throughout my post-accident recovery! Every time I needed her advice, she was just a call away".
"Kleiman has to be the best healthcare facility throughout Tualatin. They're so reasonable yet professional courteous and cooperative. I was surprised when I first visited them".
"Even on video calls Kleiman nurses take all their time to understand you without rushing through the conversation. Their medicines have helped me with my allergic reaction immensely. I just booked my last appointment with Naz so she can tell if I need further aid or am I good to go".

"I have just had one appointment over FaceTime, and have a future appointment scheduled. That said, I am so impressed and grateful to find Naz! She was exactly what I needed, and I look forward to meeting her in our in-person appointment."
Zocdoc Testimonial by Barbara W
THIS was what I was looking for in a Doctor visit. Quite possibly the most thorough and welcoming appointment I've had in my adult life. Nazeneem (Naz) Kleiman tips the scale when it comes to quality of care. Very attentive to your words and how you're feeling - it was like she'd been my PCP this entire time, though I'd only just met her and her staff. Jaqueline was also very thorough and offered some great advice while I had my appointment. I went in for an annual physical and walked out of the appointment feeling seen, heard, and most important: confident. The appointment was no-nonsense, realistic, and filled with great conversation that helped to ease my nerves of seeing a new physician for the first time in a long time. The office was crisp and clean - I had half a mind to ask if they just opened! I combed through my Insurance provider's website to find the RIGHT ONE and am glad she (Nazeneem) was there. I was able to schedule my appointment easily enough and be seen in a matter of days.
