Planning an international trip? Before finalizing your travel arrangements, give our travel medicine team a call. No matter where your next overseas destination takes you, our team is here to help reduce your risk of getting sick.
If you prepare for your trip, common illnesses — such as traveler’s diarrhea and malaria — can be avoided with preventive therapy and education. Our physicians provide comprehensive pre- and post-travel medical care, immunizations, and medication for business and vacation travelers. For the best results, we recommend you schedule an appointment at least four weeks before travel.

Cost
All immunizations require immediate payment by cash, credit card, or check. The clinic does not process travel immunizations costs through insurance as they are not covered by most plans. Patients can request a receipt if they want to file with their insurance company.
Immunizations offered
Travel immunizations are the best form of protection from serious diseases. If you’re pregnant or have a chronic medical condition such as asthma, diabetes, or epilepsy, be sure to consult your provider before departure.
