“Wonderful Care“
“We’ve met with our advisor three times regarding an upcoming trip to Trinidad and Tobago. She was really well prepared with all the information we needed regarding State Department recommendations for inoculations, conditions in Haiti, and longer term issues for other trips. She took time and discussed all the potential diseases \ problems we might face, was sensitive to costs, and did a great job of explaining what we needed. Vaccine shots were delivered with a smile and a minimum of discomfort. This was a great place to go and I’d recommend to anyone traveling out of country.”

“We used Passport health before our vacation to Trinidad and Tobago. The RN was wonderful and so knowledgable! She had everything ready for our visit, was able to go over every destination on our vacation and went over all recommended vaccines. Definitely a one stop shop for travel needs. The office also had deet based insect repellant and other things like that on hand to buy.”
