International Traveler’s Clinic

Costs:
Clinic Visit/​Consult = $ 50
Typhoid Shot (Lasts for 2 years) = $ 70
INFO/​TIPS:
— Moved to Point Loma area. Next to Riviera Liquor House. Across from Taco Fiesta. Call office for the address.
— A nurse practitioner gives a one-​on-​one consult with you regarding your international trip. He will ask you questions to get a better picture of what your trip is like so he can recommend which vaccinations are needed.
— Appointments are available Tuesday/​Thursday late afternoons & nights. Easy for people who work during the day.
— For those going to Thailand, it’s recommended to get the Typhoid vaccination. Oral typhoid is good for 5 years while the shot is good for 2 years.
— Services are cheaper than most of the clinics in San Diego
Recommended for Thailand:
— All routine vaccinations (Tdap, polio, Hep A, Hep B, etc.)
— Typhoid
— Japanese Encephalitis, Rabies, and Yellow Fever only for those traveling in endemic areas

Got an appointment quickly! Front desk was very pleasant and informative. Got some great information about my upcoming trip to panama. Entire appointment lasted about an hour, and I got everything I needed for my trip. I will use this place in the future for all my international travel needs :)

I will readily admit that this place is inexpensive. It was $ 270 for my Yellow Fever, Typhoid, Polio booster, and Malaria med prescription. However, I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS CLINIC. (I have a very valid medical reason for refusing shots in my arms. I have had bad reactions in the past, and cannot go to work with the reactions. I have a condition that requires frequent injections which the doctor now requests are put into my thighs. I’ve also had vaccinations put into my thighs before.)
So back to the clinic. The nurse practitioner is hard of hearing so he didn’t hear me tell him I needed the shots in my thighs at the beginning of our visit. 20 minutes later he tells me to take off my jacket, and a discussion ensues about the injection locations. He flatly refused to put the shots where I needed them. So being a dummy I got the shots in my arms. Just like I predicted I had numbness in my left and was unable to go to work for 3 days.
I saw my regular doctor today. She told me there was ZERO reason for the nurse to have insisted in this way, and that I would have the same immune response either way. Wish I could be nicer about this… But he was simply dead wrong. It makes me wonder what else he’s mistaken about which doesn’t make me confident at all… If you’re OK with one size fits all injections I guess this place is fine.

Went back to the clinic at their new location on W Point Loma Blvd in March. The consultation was very informative and thorough. My last visit was $ 250 and they only accept cash and check so come prepared.

This place is in Ocean Beach (1947 Cable St) these days. Not Bankers Hill. Anyway Mark is a very friendly courteous guy and the clinic is definitely the best value for travel vaccinations in San Diego. I needed a whole host of shots some of which I was able to get for really cheap through the public health immunization programs and the others (Hep A, Hep C) which I needed to get in private clinics. Every other clinic aside from this place charged extortionate amounts of money for these shots. So, I strongly recommend this place — high quality shots, good advice and after hours service.

I was in need of a Yellow Fever vaccination.
Called here after contacting a few other Travel Clinics, One wanted to charge
Drs Consult fee — $ 100
Nursing fee — $ 50
Yellow Fever Vaccination — $ 125
Called this place and was told that it would be a total of $ 150 for the consult and the shot, and that they’d talk to me about other recommended shots that id be needing for my travel.
Its great that they are only open after hours so i didn’t have to leave work early to get some shots. Called and left a message on their voice mail of what i was looking for where and when i was traveling. They called me back in a reasonable time and i set up my appointment. During my consult, they were very knowledgeable, told me what i should avoid in the countries i was visiting. (don’t go into any rivers or streams, don’t eat anything raw, especially fruits and vegetables except if they are peeled, even in the hotels.) Told me what kind of clothing i should wear, gave me a prescription for medications i should take incase of certain situations and gave me printouts and handouts for me to take and leave in my suitcase so that i’d know what to do if i got any symptoms while on the trip. They recommended a bunch of other vaccinations but i declined them as they were also an additional fee and not required.
Office visit /​Consultation $ 50
Yellow Fever Vaccination and Travel Vaccination Card $ 100
None of which is covered by insurance!
saved me almost %50 over the other travel clinic i first called!
Tips:
— Call and leave a voice message with your needs and set up an appointment ahead of time.
— DO NOT PARK in the DENTIST OFFICE PARKING. They will tow, even when the office is closed. Park on the side with the Optometrist, or on the street.
— Cash only (i think check is okay too)

This is very convenient for me as this clinic is open after my usual work. The doctor is very courteous and helpful with tips apart from the international shots that I needed for my trip to peru.
I extremely recommend this clinic for international travellers.

This was the most affordable place I found for a Yellow Fever vaccine. It was $ 40 for the office visit ($ 60 for 2 people) and $ 90 for the vaccine. Most other places I called charged around $ 110 for the vaccine and 40 – 55 for the office visit.
The nurse’s office is open at night which is convenient if you work during the day. You must make an appointment by calling ahead of time.
We told him about our trip and he gave us very thorough information about vaccines he recommended as well as advice on other travel related issues (food to avoid, other illnesses) and even wrote us a scrip for malaria and cipro on the spot.
The whole appointment took an hour, which is kind of long, but we got a lot of good information out of it.
They don’t take credit card so be sure to bring cash or a check!
