Tourist or newcomer to Montreal? Here's an easy way to see a doctor!
Are you traveling to Montreal, or have you just arrived in Quebec and are not yet covered by RAMQ? Are you sick, have a health problem or need a prescription refill? Don't panic! There are several options for consulting a doctor quickly and easily, even without a health insurance card.
I'm Dr. Aurélia Nha-Huyen Nguyen Gouez, a family physician and medical director of French origin. After completing my schooling and practicing in France, I moved to Quebec in 2016, where I practiced in CLSCs before turning to the private sector. I founded Allodocteur.ca to offer faster and easier access to medical care, notably by offering home consultations and teleconsultations, as is the case in France.
At Allodocteur.ca, we simplify your access to care with our private medical consultations, either by teleconsultation or at home, with a doctor in just a few minutes or hours.

How do I see a doctor in Montreal if I'm a tourist or a foreigner?
Teleconsultation: consult a doctor wherever you are!
If your health problem does not require a physical examination (urinary infection, dermatological problem, medical prescription...), a teleconsultation is the fastest solution.
- Book online at Allodocteur.ca
- Talk to a doctor in minutes
- Receive a prescription directly from your pharmacy
Rates start at $119, far less expensive than a trip to the emergency room.
Home consultation: A doctor comes to you!
If you're ill, tired or prefer to avoid travel, we'll send a doctor directly to your home (hotel, Airbnb, temporary residence).
- No need to travel and wait in a clinic.
- Ideal if you have a fever, aches and pains, or the flu.
- Perfect for families traveling with sick children.
Price: from $279, depending on complexity and distance.
Book now on Allodocteur.ca for a stress-free medical visit.
Private clinic or walk-in clinic: Watch out for waiting times!
If you prefer to see a doctor in a clinic, be aware that public clinics generally do not take patients without RAMQ. Private clinics are an alternative, but they can be more expensive, and waiting times can be long.
Examples of private clinics in Montreal
- ELNA Médical
- Rockland
Average cost of a consultation: between $150 and $300.
Why wait when you can consult a doctor immediately with Allodocteur.ca?
Hospital emergencies: Avoid unless it's a real emergency!
If your condition is serious (chest pain, difficulty breathing, accident...), go to a hospital emergency room.
Hospitals in Montreal
- CHUM (Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal)
- MUHC (McGill University Health Centre)
- Jewish General Hospital
- Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital
Waits can exceed 12 hours for non-urgent cases. Fees are very high without insurance (between $700 and $2,000, depending on the care required).
If your condition is not critical, choose a teleconsultation or home visit to avoid these delays and exorbitant costs.
How to pay and be reimbursed
If you have travel or private insurance, you'll usually have to pay in advance, then claim reimbursement from your insurer. Remember to :
-Ask for a detailed invoice specifying the type of consultation and medical procedures performed.
-Check with your insurance company before the consultation to avoid unpleasant surprises.
-Some insurances require you to call before consulting, especially for emergencies.
We provide you with an official receipt so that you can make your claim easily with your insurer.

In Quebec, pharmacists can sometimes prescribe drugs without medical consultation.
