Welcome to our office!

For vaccination and consultation appointments, please fill out the contact form below or call us at 646-648-1695.  All visits for travel vaccinations, other than visits for rabies, require a $275.00 consultation fee in addition to individual vaccine fees (there are no exceptions). Please see below for details.

We see everyone age 10 and over for the following types of visits:

Travel Medicine Consultations

Dr. Klapowitz meets with you and reviews your medical history & travel plans, administers vaccinations (including Yellow Fever vaccine), and prescribes malaria and other medications as needed all on the same visit.

Human Rabies Vaccinations

  • We do not perform initial care for bite wounds or injuries and do not have immunoglobulin, but we will complete a rabies series started in an emergency room or elsewhere.
  • We also provide rabies vaccines for work (including veterinarians and veterinary students) and travel to rabies-risk locations.
  • There is no consultation fee. You pay only for each vaccination ($495 per vaccine).
  • Appointments are usually available same or next-day.
  • We also perform rabies titers. We then call you with the result and send a hard-copy and/or email as soon as it is completed.
  • For more rabies vaccination and disease information, please see RABIES.

Pre-Travel Physicals

(age 18+ only) An in-depth medical examination from Dr. Klapowitz. Blood draws, EKG’s, lung function testing, and urine analysis can all be performed in-office. Rapid referrals to top specialists are provided as needed.

Rapid Molecular COVID Tests:

Nasal swab tests that use Nucleic Acid Amplification (NAAT, NEAR) technology. These COVID tests are considered more accurate than many of the rapid antigen tests.  Results return in about an hour. We charge $125.00 for the test.

COVID PCR Tests:

Nasal swab tests that use Polymerase Chain Reaction technology. Results in 1-2 days.* We charge $125 for collection of specimen.

We can call you with the results of both tests and will gladly email you a copy, usually within an hour or so of our call.

VISIT FEES: 

Your entire visit is with Dr. Klapowitz in our new, private midtown office. Dr. Klapowitz will spend whatever time is necessary with you to determine your vaccination needs (usually fewer shots than the CDC lists), your medical needs (if any), and provide useful travel medical advice.

  • We charge $275.00 for a consultation.
  • Consultations are required for vaccinations administered for travel purposes (such as Yellow Fever, Typhoid, Japanese Encephalitis, and Tick-Borne Encephalitis). Visits for Rabies vaccinations do not require a consultation.
  • Vaccine fees range from Typhoid ($115) to Yellow Fever ($245) to Rabies ($495 each shot). All shots are given during your visit. For a complete list of fees, see: VACCINATION SCHEDULES and FEES.
  • All first appointments to our office require a $75.00 non-refundable booking fee. This fee goes towards your bill at the end of your visit.
  • We are non-par with insurance (insurance often does not cover travel-related medical advice and vaccinations even when you are seen in an “in-network” clinic).
  • After your visit with us, we will submit your claim to your insurance company for you.
  • We participate with Medicare part “B” and will submit vaccination bills to Medicare for injections Medicare covers (ie influenza and pneumonia shots). Medicare “B” does not cover travel consultations or most travel-related vaccinations.

* Please note: We send our PCR specimens to an outside laboratory. Our results return reliably within 24 hours, but our PCR result time estimates are NOT a guarantee.
