Passport Health Boise Travel Clinic

"The nurse definitely tried to oversell me expensive vaccines such as rabies and Japanese encephalitis. My spouse went to the St. Luke's travel clinic where they recommended her not to get the rabies or encephalitis vaccines because the rates of infection are very low in the countries we were traveling to. The PassportHealth nurse tried to emphasize to me how easily contracted the diseases were and how lethal they were. This is definitely a sales pitch, as opposed to having a legitimate interest in ensuring the traveler has appropriate vaccines for their travel."

"My wife and I visited this clinic before our trip to Bali. It was our first time visiting and we were very susceptible to the marketing tactics used by the salesman at passport health. You should visit Saint lukes passport health clinic in meridian. Saint lukes clinic was helpful and inexpensive and they accept blue cross insurance. Passport health does not take insurance and they will try and sell you pills upon pills that you DO NOT NEED! The passport health clinic told us we needed rabies vaccines as well as Japanese encephalitis even though that was not part of the cdcs guidelines based on where we were traveling inside bali. They told us stories of people in horrible situations to scare us into thinking these were necessary. Both of those vaccines cost $500+. They told us that they were the only place in town to carry these vaccines and didn't want us to leave without getting them. Thankfully we wanted a second opinion and visited saint lukes clinic where the incredibly informed staff took the time to look over our itinerary to make sure we only got what we needed. We received vaccines for yellow fever and covid and had a very safe and fun trip. Honestly the way that passport health treated us felt sketchy bordering on illegal. Please look for an alternative!"

"I really appreciated the guy I worked with he was friendly and informative. The one thing I would say is it's expensive and to plan ahead. But don't let the cost deter you. The vaccines are important and can save you a lot in medical costs."

"Paul was well prepared about my Travels and helped me learn a lot about the medications I was going to take! Would go back again, and highly recommend as St. Luke's Travel Clinic is super hard to get a hold off. This place is quick and fast!"

"I had a great experience! They fit me in despite my last minute scheduling request. Alicia was very friendly, knowledgeable and prepared. I liked how travel oriented the consultation was and that she had more general trip preparation advice."
