Travel Medicine Centre

Reasonable prices, friendly and knowledgeable doctor.

Amazing! I called around about 20 different travel clinics all of which were charging insane prices. His are definitely the most reasonable, and they’re all listed online– no hidden costs like all the other places. But not only that, he’s so honest! I left without getting any vaccinations (at his recommendation). What?! I was just floored. I’m recommending him to everyone I know!

Bottom Line: Reasonable prices, efficient, honest
I just had a travel medicine visit here. As others have noticed, it’s not the prettiest office, but who cares. The care that Dr. Scappatura delivered was very efficient… I was seen within minutes of arrival. Above-​all, he was very no non-​sense and honest. I’m quite informed about travel health issues, so would have detected BS in seconds. In fact, he even talked me out of getting a Yellow Fever booster, as the World Health Organization is likely to change the rules in a year to 1 shot per lifetime. Pretty impressive when he gives up pure profit to save me money.
He’s also incredibly informed on up-​to-​the-​minute data and ready to discuss cost-​benefit analysis based on the price of vaccines versus travel risk. He has a computer monitor set-​up to show the patient direct links to information like a malaria map or statistics on the efficacy of Dukoral.
As for price, this is pretty much as cheap as it gets:
$ 40 for an initial visit. $ 20 for a follow-​up.
His vaccine prices are on the low-​end & no per-​shot administration fees.
Not trying to upsell patients either.
Most clinics don’t post their prices, and after a few phone calls, you’ll learn way.
After this visit, I got exactly the pre-​travel medication I needed in a timely, efficient office visit that wasn’t the least bit unpleasant. I highly recommend this clinic.

I had first gone to another clinic, recommended by my doctor. Bad office, I left. Then I found this one. Viva la difference! The woman who answered the phone was polite, informative and friendly. On arrival for my appointment, I was greeted and treated pleasantly: given forms and offered a coffee. The doctor was pleasant and to the point and down-​sold me (my doc had recommended Hep A&B, but my time window was short for the B and given my profile, the doc didn’t think the B would be required).
The nurse giving the injection was, again, pleasant, friendly, and professional. Also, very competent.
I recommend this clinic very highly.

The rooms were small and gave the impression of being dirty, the doctor was okay but seemed distracted, the nurse who gave the shots (all of which hurt during and for days after) was short and uncaring. Admin staff ignored me as much as possible and didn’t go out of their way to be helpful. Not a pleasant place, considering you have to pay a fee just to go there. Go elsewhere if you possibly can.

My husband and I made an appointment for today at lunch at 12:30pm for a consultation, when we were on the phone on the receptionist I asked how long the appointment should take and she let me know to expect about 1 hour.
I was a little skeptical and weary of the travel clinic so we went to our family doctor a few weeks ahead of time and she had us run blood work to see if we needed both Hep A and Hep B or if we didn’t need either. She let me know we had Hep B but would need Hep A, she offered to administer the Help A for us.
We arrived a few minutes before 12:30pm today and filled out the necessary paperwork. Let me first say the clinic is pretty dingy looking and dark, I was kinda put off. After we finished the paperwork we had to wait for 30 minutes! I was getting anxious because I had to get back to work. At 1pm we were called in and had a consultation with the doctor. The doctor was incredibly nice and very well informed and knew exactly about the areas we were going to. He wasn’t pushy at all and left everything up to us. We told him we only needed Hep A and he advised Typhoid is quite important also and that there is a combination shot with Hep A and Typhoid so we decided to just get it done here. The injection was fairly painless, however, it did start to feel a little funny throughout the day but not really any pain. The consultation fee was $ 40 each and then the cost of the vaccinations, the prices are listed on their website.
We were out of the office by 1:20ish so under the hour the receptionist told me. All in all, I was really happy with our experience and would highly recommend the Travel Medicine Centre.

Thanks to the Unilocal reviews, that is why I chose this place. The location was close to my home. During the visit we talked: about my health history, health risks I should be aware on my trip, and what vaccinations I need/​not need. I felt a tiny prick when the nurse administered the injection of the vaccine. I like that they posted their fees on their website.

Best experience at a travel clinic. Doctor is very nice and thorough. Reviewed our history and informed us of what we did/​did not need and why. I would definitely recommend this clinic!

I checked around and it was the only place that charged the lowest «consultation fee». I arrived a few minutes late only to find out that the doctor was running behind schedule. I waited for 35 minutes before I would be seen though i had made an appointment.
The place is old and cluttered. The receptionist did not even look up as I entered and waited to speak to her.
I got what i needed though and he did not recommend immunizations that I don’t need. He had a large screen in his office to show the areas where I would be travelling. The vaccinations were also the lowest i found after i had shopped around. Some places charged a $ 15 administration fee for each shot but this place did not.
I left after I got a prescription and two shots. The location was convenient for me. Other than the long wait, the prices were very competitive. I was also told later that some family doctors are able to administer some of the vaccines and can do so without a consultation charge.

Located in a dingy, dark, tiny office. They were 30 minutes late for my appointment — considering you have to pay $ 40 just to get in the door, they should be on time. The doctor argued with me about different prescriptions I’ve taken before (and my doctor-​dad recommended) so I’ll have to go to my family doctor anyway. HIs reasoning was, without insurance, they were «too expensive», but it’s not like he’s paying for them. You go in a creepy little space to get your needles, and I got one in my left arm, one in my right arm — she asked if I was right handed, and yet my left arm is fine and I haven’t been able to use my right arm at all for 9 hours.
I’m giving it two stars for convientent location.
