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, single-site dedicated travel clinic. We practice only travel medicine. We are members of the International Society of Travel Medicine. Several members of our staff have served on Health Canada's expert committee on travel and tropical medicine, known as CATMAT. One of us is a current member.

​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.

You've come to the right place if you don't like needles. We have the technique and we recommend vaccines only when the need is clear.
Are they needed for resort vacations? Discussed here.

AVOIDING ILLNESS
We discuss food and water precautions, travellers' diarrhea and its treatment, dengue and Chikungunya fever, Zika virus, animal bites, altitude sickness and more depending on your itinerary. We prescribe anti-malaria pills when necessary.
