To mark the second anniversary of Clinique Médicale Santé+, I’d like to take a few minutes of your time to share with you the history of our clinic and also to thank all the patients in the greater Vaudreuil-Dorion community who have supported us so well so far.
Our private medical clinic in Vaudreuil opened its doors on August 1, 2022. Today, I’m pleased to announce that it has a committed group of three private family doctors, all committed to providing individualized, comprehensive health care to every patient who walks through our doors.
Why I founded Clinique Médicale Santé+ in 2022
After two decades in the public healthcare system, I’m well aware of the challenges many patients face in accessing either a family doctor or specialized medical care when they need it. Long wait times, rushed appointments and the feeling of being just a number – Sounds familiar? Unfortunately, this is what many patients are experiencing these days.
It was partly in response to these problems that I founded Clinique Médicale Santé+. My vision: create a private medical clinic where quality care and accessibility go hand in hand. I wanted a clinic where patients could build trusting relationships with the doctors and nurses who care for them. A place where we would have more time to listen and understand the unique needs of each patient.
Of course, the decision was not an easy one. Leaving the public system meant stepping out of my comfort zone. However it was the possibility of making a real difference in the way healthcare is delivered in our community that drove me to take the plunge and found Clinique Médicale Santé+.
Addressing Health Issues as a Whole
For me, Clinique Médicale Santé+ is more than just a medical clinic – it’s your health partner in your community. At our private medical clinic in Vaudreuil, we’ve created a place where comprehensive care meets personalized attention. We’re going far beyond the traditional doctor’s office experience.
The “+” in our name represents our promise to you. We’re not here to treat illnesses; we’re committed to more – to promoting overall health and well-being. This holistic approach is why we offer you a wide range of services under one roof.
From annual checkups and minor emergencies to mental health support and addiction treatment, our services are there to address all your health needs. We provide pediatric care for your little ones as well as specialized healthcare services such as STBBI screening and treatment and HIV prevention through PrEP.Even corporations and businesses are welcome at our clinic with our dedicated industrial and corporate medicine services that include services such as pre-employment medical assessment, health and safety at work, drug testing and more.
Hiccups and Challenges
Running a private family doctor practice isn’t without its hurdles. My team and I had our share of late nights, tech hiccups, and ongoing challenge of balancing efficiency with personalized care. But each obstacle has been a chance to learn and improve.
Although starting this clinic has been one of the most challenging experiences of my career, it has also been, and continues to be, the most rewarding. Every day, I’m reminded of why I made this choice. When I see a patient leave with a smile on their face because they’ve been cared for, but also listened to, I know we’re on the right track.
A Heartfelt Thank You
I’d like to conclude by thanking you for the trust and support you’ve shown us over the past two years.
To every patient who has walked through our doors, thank you for choosing us as your health partners. Your trust drives us to improve our services continually. We’re proud to be your go-to private medical clinic in Vaudreuil.
A special thanks also goes to my incredible team and our doctors, Shayne Baliesh and Mina Ayoub. Your commitment to our vision of healthcare has made Clinique Médicale Santé+ what it is today.

Here’s to two years down and many more to come. Thank you to the residents of Vaudreuil-Dorion, St-Lazare, Hudson and other surrounding towns for being part of our story. We look forward to continuing to serve you, always striving to put the “plus” in healthcare.
–Dr. Martin Potter
