Welcome to the Riverside Travel Medicine Clinic. Over 60,000 Ottawa and Gatineau travellers have consulted us during our 29 years of operation. We are a local dedicated travel clinic. We practice only travel medicine. We are a member of the International Society of Travel Medicine. All medical staff have earned the ISTM's Certificate of Travel Health, the accepted recognition of competence in travel medicine. Two current members (and one retired member) of our staff have served on Health Canada's expert committee on travel and tropical medicine, known as CATMAT. 

​Travellers to virtually every country in the world have seen us since we opened our doors in 1990. Our clinic has a good reputation in the city not least because we carefully examine each itinerary and tailor our recommendations accordingly. This usually means fewer vaccines administered at lower cost.
