Why Healthy Traveler Clinic?

People now travel more and visit more interesting destinations for business and recreation and they also now have many more options in travel vaccinations, immunizations and medications. Figuring it all out has become more complicated.

At our travel medicine clinic the focus is on YOU. Not your travel agent. Not your group leader. Not the people who live where you will be traveling. Not your fellow travelers, your relatives or your gardener. These folks may have given you travel medical advice and they usually mean well but we find that their information is often wrong.

We practice what is called “Evidence-based Medicine”.

That means that we base our recommendations on solid data about what the risks are at your destination. No guessing or “gut feelings”. Using the best available travel health databases, we prepare over 5,000 travelers each year for their trips and we’ve been doing this for 18 years.

Dr. Terry is certified in travel medicine by the International Society of Travel Medicine.

When it comes to the decision about which vaccinations or medications to choose--YOU make the final choice. No pressure or hard sell from us.

Our job is to give you the best information available.

You can then choose your immunizations and medications based on your budget and your tolerance for risk. Everyone has a different budget and comfort level. You can do all we recommend, some of it or nothing at all--your choice.

We will work with you to prioritize your choices to stay within your budget.

We will do our best to help you have a productive and healthy trip.

And that’s a promise.
