Passport Health Bakersfield Travel Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most clinics were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Passport Health Bakersfield Travel Clinic with an unusual package. The receptionist's eyes widened as she unwrapped it—inside was a tiny golden key. Curious, she placed the key on her desk and noticed that it fit perfectly into an old lock hidden beneath a poster of tropical islands. Later that day, while everyone else was gone, she unlocked a secret drawer revealing a stash of donuts. Turns out, it was just a prank from a friendly neighborhood doctor who loved baked goods.

2. One morning, just as the clinic doors opened, an elderly gentleman approached the reception desk with a mysterious envelope. ‘I found it outside,’ he said, ‘and thought you should see what’s inside.’ The staff looked perplexed but curious. What could be hidden within those cryptic pages? As they unfolded the envelope, everyone burst into laughter—it was simply a map of the world stuck together with travel stickers from every country. Turns out, someone had been collecting them for years and decided to share their passion with the clinic staff. From that day on, whenever anyone walked in, they’d ask, 'Have you visited our latest stamp today?'

3. At closing time, when staff started packing up for the day, someone left a mysterious note on the clinic’s door: ‘Your passport is ready—visit anytime between midnight and dawn.’ The next morning, the receptionist found an envelope taped inside the door with a smiley face drawn in marker. It read: ‘Visiting during your office hours? Not today!’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a delivery driver who liked their service.

4. In the early hours of the morning, before anyone else stirred, a mysterious package arrived at the clinic's doorstep. The delivery driver, puzzled by its unusual contents, whispered that it felt like something out of a travel guide gone wrong. Inside was an old passport cover, half-filled vaccination cards from unknown countries, and a note scribbled in pencil: 'For safe travels!' A regular patient later admitted they’d accidentally left their belongings here years ago and had been meaning to return.
