Our History
Bayshore Neurology Clinic was opened in 2022 as part of an expansion of Booth Neurology Clinic, in order to provide patients with a new location that offers more onsite parking, improved wheelchair access and easy access to medical services such as Dynacare labs, a pharmacy, a physiotherapist, a medical devices store in the same building. It is closer for patients living in the areas west of Ottawa, and is generally easily accessible via the 417 Highway.
Our group of physicians provide consultation services in General Neurology and in the subspecialty of Headache Medicine.
We serve Ottawa and the surrounding areas in Eastern Ontario and the Outaouais region in Quebec. Together with our sister clinic Booth Neurology, we have are one of the largest community neurology clinics in the province, both in terms of the number of physicians and number patients served.
