What VM - Med does

VM Med is a private, accredited multidisciplinary medical clinic headquartered at 1538 Sherbrooke Street West in downtown Montreal, founded in 1994 and operating continuously for over three decades. It organizes its services around six integrated centers: Breast, Thyroid, Surgery, Gynecology, Family Medicine, and Radiology, the last of which includes a separate Nuclear Medicine & PET-CT site on Guy Street. The clinic is positioned as the largest private breast center in Canada and the country's first member of the National Consortium of Breast Centers, with Canada's first Siemens-Sentinelle designated Breast MRI Center of Excellence and the first Quebec clinic to offer Radio Frequency Ablation for thyroid nodules.

Its clinical technology stack spans direct digital mammography with Computer-Aided Detection, wide-open bore MRI (including MRI-guided breast biopsies), 3D-4D breast ultrasound, CT, X-ray, bone densitometry (DEXA), nuclear medicine/PET-CT, and the MonaLisa Touch fractional CO2 laser for genitourinary syndrome. All physicians are certified specialists and members of the Collège des Médecins du Québec and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and the clinic holds accreditations from Accreditation Canada and the Canadian Association of Radiologists in Mammography.

VM Med operates as a direct-to-consumer private-pay clinic bypassing Quebec's RAMQ public system, with no referral required for most services, appointment availability within 24-48 hours, same-day mammography and ultrasound results, and biopsy turnaround in 4-10 business days. Patients access care through online inquiry forms, phone, or walk-in, while radiology services are also fed by physician referrals with downloadable forms. The clinic serves individual patients in the Montreal metropolitan area and broader Quebec, drawing on its 30-year reputation and recognized clinical leadership in breast cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment.
