The Primary Care You Need, Whenever You Need it
If you are a busy professional, setting aside time for primary care visits can be difficult. However, it is essential for optimizing your long-term health.
Our solution is the La Vie Point Direct Program. This ongoing personalised care program provides members with comprehensive, year-round healthcare support and access to high-quality healthcare services.
Point Direct has the same features as our Point One Care concierge service, with two exceptions:
- A Comprehensive Wellness Assessment at the onset of your relationship with La Vie is not required.
- Annual preventative assessments are not included.
Adults who are under age 55 and have few or no chronic medical conditions are eligible for Point Direct. Contact us today to learn how this concierge service ensures you will always have immediate access to a private family doctor in Ottawa when you need it.
Executive Health in Ottawa
Navigating your healthcare journey is a little easier when you have an expert by your side. A Point Direct membership includes a dedicated nurse care coordinator who serves as your main point of contact at La Vie, providing personalized guidance and support every step of the way.
As a member of this ongoing healthcare program, you will also enjoy:
- A proactive approach to your health: At La Vie, we believe in the power of preventive care. That means emphasizing early detection of potential health risks and offering guidance on lifestyle changes designed to optimize your long-term health.
- Unparalleled access: In case you ever need health advice, an on-call physician is here for you from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. Need to see a family doctor at our private medical clinic in Ottawa or one of our two other Ontario locations? We will guarantee you an appointment within 24 hours.
- Virtual care: If you don't want to leave the home or office to consult with a doctor, you can take advantage of remote consultations via our online platform.
- Healthcare made personal: Primary care appointments shouldn't feel rushed, only leaving you time to discuss one health issue while leaving others unaddressed. With Point Direct concierge medicine, your family doctor takes the time to understand your particular concerns and develop a treatment plan in accordance with your health needs.
- On-site diagnostic imaging: Convenient in-house imaging services are available at our private clinics in Ottawa and two other Ontario locations.
- Simplified post-visit care: After an in-person or virtual visit with one of our healthcare providers, we quickly take care of whatever you need — from setting up your prescriptions to scheduling follow-up visits within La Vie or our network of preferred specialists.
- Comprehensive healthcare: You can count on high-quality healthcare from not only our private family doctors in Ottawa but also specialists in our trusted network (including fast-tracked appointments).
- Personalised medical care: Your La Vie care team will be there for you for the long haul. By establishing a lasting relationship with you, our healthcare professionals can gain a rich understanding of your medical history and evolving health needs — and deliver highly individualized and effective care.

Patient Story: Meet Emily
Struggles to schedule timely appointments with her family doctor. Brief primary care visits that didn't address all of her health needs. Delays in arranging diagnostic tests and coordinating referrals to specialists. For Emily, a 45-year-old marketing executive and mother of two, traditional healthcare had become a frustrating, time-consuming ordeal.
Seeking a more satisfying and personalized approach, she enrolled in the La Vie Point Direct Program. Our concierge medicine service has been everything she had hoped for — and more.
Now Emily can make appointments at our private health clinic in Ottawa in a timely manner. Her visits allow ample time to cover all of her health concerns, which gives her greater peace of mind. And thanks to her dedicated nurse care coordinator, she receives streamlined follow-ups and referrals.
With her hectic lifestyle, Emily appreciates our on-site ultrasound, DEXA scan (bone density test), and blood work lab, which enable immediate results and quicker development of treatment plans. Meanwhile, thanks to La Vie's virtual care platform, she can seek medical advice and consultations remotely and on a schedule that works for her.
Her Point Direct membership has transformed Emily's healthcare experience from exasperating to, in her words, "liberating." If you desire high-touch executive health in Ottawa, then Point Direct might be right for you as well.
