Customer Reviews
Passport Health – Vaccines for Natural Resource Workers
“We have been using various clinic providers since 2004. I wish we had used Passport Health before. They were very professional and explained in detail the vaccination options available including providing additional vaccines at our onsite flu clinic. This saved us time and money as we only had to have one clinic instead of our typical two to three.”
“Not seeing your own doctor and going to a clinic picked by your employer can be very stressful. The staff showed concern for my heath and well being, and successfully put me ease about the exam. Outstanding experience at clinic.”
“Went for a pre-employment visit. Walked in. The nurse was very friendly and professional. She quickly pulled up my record, gave me my exam and provided the immunizations I needed. Everything was even billed directly to my employer. Super easy.”
“I expected to go in this place and waste my whole lunch hour trying to get a physical, even though my company made an appointment. Not the case at all! I arrived a little early and the lady in the office ushered me right on in. She had already viewed the medical forms I completed online about 30 minutes before I arrived and was fully familiar with me and my appointment. She was really nice. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. Thumbs up Passport!”
“I was really happy with the staff. They are always very nice to talk to and make it easy for our employees. Their program is top notch!”
