This virtual urgent care was such a lifesaver when my baby got sick while we were on vacation. I was able to book an appointment online, and within just 5 minutes Dr. Erik Petersen was on the phone with me.

While on our recent visit to Maui we used Vacation Medicine's telehealth service and could not have been more impressed. It was half the cost of a visit to the closest urgent care center and we had our appointment within 5 mins.

Amazing! We were traveling and couldn't make it into a local urgent care on a Sunday. Dr. Peterson was amazing! So helpful, kind and made sure we knew how to follow up if we needed anything else! Saved our trip!

Vacation medicine was easy to find, book an appointment and provided great care. Plus they followed up to make sure the prescription was filled and if I needed anything else.
