I came to Passport Health in advance of a trip to Thailand. I give the location high marks for the ease of making an appointment, cleanliness, thoroughness of the staff in assessing your travel disease risks and needs, and pricing transparency. The physician covers a lot of ground during the appointment and offered helpful product recommendations like Permethrin and an array of medications to prevent food borne illnesses. The vaccinations are well-priced and the physician also indicated where insurance might pick up costs for more common shots and booster, where prescriptions might be less expensive, etc.This is an amazing and affordable local resource for anyone traveling abroad. Great value for wellness and peace of mind.

I had been surprised with a trip to Thailand for my birthday and needed immunizations on really short notice. Some of the vaccines require a lot more time to be effective, so it’s recommended to visit several weeks before a trip. William the nurse helped list and explain what diseases were on the radar for my destination and talked me through the process the whole time. I was never at a loss and I fully understood what risks were involved with my choices for immunization. The receptionist who answered my call was also very informative, and I appreciated her effort in accommodating me on such short notice!

William the nurse was great. He explained the risks of various types of infection based on my trip plans (or lack thereof) and previous travel history to help ensure I am as safe as possible for my trip. He is funny and friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. The location is convenient and easy to get in and out. Thanks so much! I’ll definitely be back before my next trip!

I would recommend Passport Health-Fulton Market. Nurse William is very knowledgeable and personable. I came with a lot of questions and William had patience with me and was happy to help. William took the time to go through my travel plans with my and the vaccination options. Extra points for clean and tidy office!

Excellent customer service. Went over everything about my trip and what was required there, what I had already completed, and what was recommended. Did not push products like a sales pitch, which is always nice. The provided packet to take on my trip in case anything happens is also very comforting.

I have always loved my experiences at passport health. As a Global Studies major and a member of the Peace Corps college prep program, international travel us a huge part of my life, and I reccomend Passport Health to all my friends. Travelling is stressful enough so having a team of experts, like my nurse William, is a blessing to my peace of mind. The Fullerton location was easy to find, and very welcoming. William was understanding and very clear in all his explanations and I left the office feeling healthy and well informed.

My experience here was great! William immediately greeted us and took us in even though we were early for our appointment. His explanations of all the medicines and vaccinations needed or recommended for my trip was very thorough. We had a lot of options to choose from.

Came in to get vaccines for my upcoming trip to Africa. William was very helpful and knowledgeable about the requirements for each of the countries I am visiting. I recommend that future patients bring in historical vaccination cards to make the process quicker. Before accepting which vaccines you’ll receive, William informs and makes his recommendation.Thank you, Will!

My wife and I were headed to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa. We set up a meeting with passport health and we where thrilled with the service. They answered all of our questions and went over all the things we needed for our trip. They also provided a nice booklet that provided additional information specific to our trip. The process was easy and flexible. We are busy professionals and they worked around our schedule for the follow up shots. If you are looking for a team to help you be prepared and safe before your big trip I would recommend Passport health.

Review №16

William at Passport Health was extremely helpful and it was easy to tell his main concern was your safety. Gave facts and reasons for/against each vaccine and left the decision up to you. All research you thought needed to be done was given to you in a well put together binder (wish I knew that beforehand). Most people dont wait until 3 days before departure but even so I feel safe and ready to travel. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back for my next adventure.

I am preparing for a trip to SEA and William the nurse was incredibly helpful. Im usually a fly by the seams kind of guy and i was worried that getting my immunizations would be a situation based on fear mongering and salesmanship. That was certainly not the case here. William, i can happily say, stayed in the office past his regular hours to chat with me and help me make my decisions in a professional and caring way.I cant recommend this office enough, 5 stars.

Dr. Heerden was very welcoming and informative of my entire trip. When I made the appointment they asked where I was going and had a travel booklet ready for me when I arrived at the office specified for my travel plans. He educated me about every medicine I might need and an alternative if there was one available. The first made sure I understood the reason for the vaccinations and possible side effects. I showed up early and he was more than happy to start the appointment early. Definitely coming back before my next international trip!

Amazing! I called and got an appointment for the very next day. Great hours, I went after work. It was a warm warm summers day when I ventured to the Passport Health in Greektown. I met William who is very thorough and wants to make sure that you understand each shot and why to get those shots. He is ready for the appointment the moment you walk in, not having you repeat the questions you filled out prior. William knows what he is talking about!! Super convenient.

William was very knowledgeable. We informed his office where we were traveling, and he had prepared a booklet for us ahead of time. The booklet provided useful information regarding different disease risks relevant to the regions we were traveling to and preventive measures to take to avoid contracting these diseases. He also provided us with all the information we needed regarding relevant vaccinations that we could receive. He was very transparent and the whole process was quick and painless. Thank you Passport Health!

I am traveling to Ghana in two weeks and was able to make an appointment online with great ease. My appointment was at 4, and I was seen within five minutes of arriving...totally excellent for a busy person like myself. I had the honor of meeting with the Corey McVey, the executive director and he literally walked me through each vaccination and things I needed to be aware of. On top of that he did not try to push the yellow fever vaccination; I was told it was only good for ten years and he showed documentation that it is good for life. What a savings. I actually will recommend that for my student trip for 2017. They are professional and answer all of your questions.

I had great service here. The doctor here is really knowledgeable and cares a lot about you the patient. While it seemed a little bit rushed the first time I came in, I think that was because I was simply overwhelmed with all of the information. The doctor did an amazing job making sure I understood everything and that I was comfortable. I will definitely be coming back here for all of my travel vaccination needs in the future!!

Review №82

While planning a mission trip and vacation to Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Zambia, we needed to get the proper vaccinations. Passport Health in the West Loop was a lifesaver!! They walked us through, step-by-step, which areas were infected, what each vaccination will essentially do, and how and when each should be administered. The process of knowing which vaccinations to get and when, etc. can be quite taxing, and coming here reduced the headache of it all. I definitely recommend coming here for your next overseas trip!
