Passport Health

When traveling abroad, it’s hard to imagine doing any better than Passport Health.
First they are warm, welcoming, professional, and they actually respond promptly to email or phone inquiries.
In my appointment they took the time to thoroughly address every health prophylactic treatment and recommended vaccination. They provided exceptional travel supply options such as first aid kits that include electrolyte salts to treat travelers diarrhea. Vaccination injections were painless & they helped plan them to prevent post vaccination sequelae.
Before you leave they provide you with a large bound travel itinerary including consulate locations, all health related risks and how to prevent /​treat them. It’s awesome!
Before I left for my trip I had symptoms that I worried might have been an infection at the vaccine site. Immediately went to urgent care & they said I was fine – large and temporarily swollen response which it turns our is completely normal for yellow fever vax, and meant I was now making antibodies to that virus. Before I could leave urgent care I had a call from Passport Health telling me the exact same thing. Awesome!
On my trip about 10 days after getting over 30 mosquito bites in a malarial zone (and having forgotten to pack my anti malarial prophylaxis they prescribed & recommended) I began to have extremely high fever, chills & other sick symptoms consistent w malaria. Called them out of country before I returned from South America & Nanci was right there for me. She said NO don’t take anti malarial meds just yet. She did some research right on the phone & told me I was in a dengue & possibly Chikunguya zone (no treatment avail for either) and that taking anti malarial meds if I didn’t have it would make me much sicker & «muddy the waters of diagnosis». She said get to an ER that can test for malaria. She gave me her cell number (amazingly thoughtful) & began replying to my first message right away. Even through the night when I felt miserable tired & wanted to wait to the next morning to get tested – she said that’s a bad idea and could get worse.
Luckily, I had prepurchased travel insurance which included concierge service that found nearest hospital w all necessary tests (some of the nearby facilities didn’t have them – big time saver). ER’s are never fun but getting Malaria, Dengue & complete WBC panel back normal by early next morning let us know I probably had some kind of bad stomach bug and nothing worse.
Nanci saved me from taking unnecessary meds – as a natural health devotee & natural medicine practitioner that means the world to me. Began to get better within another 24 hours & enjoyed the rest of my trip.
On return home, I was astonished to receive a followup phone call from Nanci, wanting to make sure everything turned out well & see if I had any return questions or concerns.
Professional, caring, organized, and with followup care that was included with my initial consultation price? I’m sold!
Passport Health, I’ll see you before we venture to SouthEast Asia next year.
As long as I’m in NM, I plan for this to be my travel health clinic. Happy to pay out of pocket for such remarkable care.
Thanks Nanci!

This is the second time I visited Passport Health New Mexico. The first time was a business trip to Africa and this time it was a family trip to Thailand. We went as family and it relieved a lot of our travel anxiety to have all the risks covered in the personalized packet, page by page. Our nurse even told what vaccine WAS NOT necessary for our trip. We all got our vaccines, yellow vaccine cards updated, and we were on our way. We opted to pay the $ 15.00 to have them file insurance for us. I know most insurance companies do not cover vaccines but it was worth a shot (haha) to have them do it for me.
Even though I couldn’t have been happier on my first visit I called around (including my own doctor-​who doesn’t even carry most vaccines) and they were the most affordable. You definitely get what you pay for — up to date information, efficient service, and quality personal.
Side note: we even had some questions AFTER we returned and they couldn’t have been more helpful!

pricey, but good service. i was referred here by Pres. my nurse was efficient, brisk + fast talking– she gave me all the info i needed for my last minute trip to haiti. she helped me assess my previous vaccine history to figure out what to recommend for this trip. this place is pricey– $ 45 for the visit alone. add to that malaria medication ($ 84.50), typhoid vaccine ($ 85), and insect repellent kit ($ 22), the total was a fair chunk of change, but since it was a last minute trip, i didn’t have time to shop around. also, my insurance doesn’t cover malaria/​typhoid. if you have time, call your pharmacy to see how much they charge for meds + skip the insect repellent kit; you can buy the same stuff elsewhere for half the price. i paid for convenience.
