Clinique Médicale privée Avenir MD

Since it is rather difficult to obtain a family physician in the public system, I have been seeing Dre Normandin (GP) Her approach to her patients is non-judgemental and compassionate. It is easy to build a trusting relationship with a healthcare professional like her who is knowledgeable and experienced. I would recommend this clinic 100%. Service is prompt and efficient.

Dre Roula El Rassi is wonderful.

I find it a bit expensive at $250 for a 15 minute consultation but the service is incredible. The clinic is also very clean.

Dr.e Chantal Dubois is AMAZING. She is following me through my pregnancy and i could not have asked for a better Doctor. She is very knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain things in a very kind, yet effective and thorough way. I could not recommended her more.- Dr.e El-Rassi (dermatologist) is also fantastic. She was effective to threat my condition, she was also very kind and she quickly called me back with a follow up, as promised. - The doctors in the clinic work in unison and consult each other providing a holistic service and diagnosis, which i appreciate.-The clinic offers the possibility of doing analysis 'in house', which makes it easier for the customer - However, I find that the system in place to contact the nurses is not optimal. They never answer the phone and you have to leave a voice message. They always call you back, but you might not be able to answer when they decide to call you back, and this puts you in a sort of loop. They also are not as efficient as the doctors, but the service offered is in any case fair. - The services at the clinic are all private, so quite expensive. To be honest, at least for what concerns the Doctors, for the incredible level of quality, I am happy to pay the extra fee (the fees that are completely unjustified are the administration fees... i.e.: I had an influenza vaccine shot at the clinic, which should have been free for me as I am pregnant. However, it costed me 30$ in the end for 'injection fees'. If I had gone to the local Jean Coutu ,I would have paid zero. In fact, my husband, who did not qualify for a free shot, paid less than i did in any case by going to the pharmacy! )

Update: the clinic contacted me back and refunded the 30$, for which i was happy and appreciative. However, at the same time, they told me they had forgotten to tell me that the telephonic appointment of the previous day was costing as much as an 'in person' appointment without service fees and they requested that i paid 150$ (note: nobody had mentioned it before).... As i was mentioning: doctors amazing, nurses (and let me add receptionists) not really.

A positive experience. It costs a few dollars but for me it was worth it, as I did not see myself waiting for endless hours in a regular clinic. And time is money too. I found the receptionists pleasant and efficient. I got an appointment for the next day, and the fact that a nurse does a pre-screening impressed me. The doctor did a lot in 15 minutes, confirmed what I needed to be sure of, and was caring and professional.
I will be back for a procedure for which Medicare does not pay anymore after the age of 70, which in itself is a shame. Kudos to Clinique Avenir MD.
