The Cliniques Marois offers a complete urology service, from physical examinations to surgery as well as esthetic care. Our three clinic locations (Laval, St-Hubert and Québec City) are equipped with the latest technologies, providing you with an effective and non-invasive treatment experience.
What is a urologist?
A urologist is a doctor that specializes in the male reproductive system and the urinary system in men and women: from the kidneys to the urethra (including the bladder) and the prostate in male patients. Urologists treat various problems and diseases, such as:
kidney and bladder stones;
condyloma;
interstitial cystitis;
overactive bladder;
incontinence;
bladder pain;
vaginal atrophy;
vulvar lichen sclerosus;
prostate cancer;
testosterone deficiency;
erectile dysfunction;
infectious balanitis;
short brake;
benign prostate hypertrophy
Urologists also perform surgeries or medical examinations such as:
circumcision for adults or children;
vasectomy and vasectomy reversal;
cystoscopy (endoscopic examination of the bladder)
Urologists undergo extensive university training
Any urologist practicing in Québec holds an undergraduate degree in medicine (4 or 5 years) and has completed a 5-year residency in urology. Practical experience in hospital and clinic settings helps consolidate the knowledge they acquired over the course of their studies. In turn, urologists are able to make precise diagnoses, prescribe the most suitable treatments and to master various surgeries.
Why choose us as your Urologist
To provide the full range of diagnostic services and minor urological surgical services in the private sector. At the Clinic Marois, we always offer an organized and accessible service in a friendly environment. The services offered are minimally invasive and suitable for minor surgery room in private practice. Our clinic’s environment is welcoming to promote a positive experience. Furthermore, minor urological surgeries requiring general or spinal anesthesia are carried out in a private hospital, accredited with an honor award.
By using a private urologist like Dr. Marois or Dr Ouellette, you will get a consultation much faster than if you were to go through the public health network. The same goes for surgeries: you will usually get an appointment in just a few weeks, whereas you might wait several months before getting an operation in the public sector.
If you need to consult a urologist (or any other specialist), the Québec health system will first require you to obtain a referral from a general practitioner (or family doctor) in order to access their care services.
By opting instead for a private urologist in Laval, Québec City or elsewhere in the province, you can make an appointment with our urologists directly, without needing a referral.
Personalized service and comprehensive care
Private urology clinics offer patients unparalleled post-procedural support and guidance. Available and attentive to his patients’ needs and concerns, Dr. Marois, Dr Ouellette and his nursing staff are available to answer your questions, ease your fears and keep you updated about your state of health.
Your private urologist
With Dr. Carlos Marois and Dr Ouellette, your health is in good hands.
Practicing medicine since the late 1990's, Dr. Carlos Marois and Dr. Paul Ouellette offer their patients deep experience in the field of urology: after making a correct diagnosis, they will propose the most suitable treatment for you and your needs. Whether you visit them in the clinics in St-Hubert, Laval or Québec City, they will take care of you every step of the way: from the initial consultation to the operation, to post-operative follow-up.
When should I consult a urologist?
Here are a few examples of aggravating factors that can increase the risk of developing a urological condition.
If you have very frequent sexual relations, prostatitis or diabetes, if you are pregnant or if you are 65 years of age or older: you are more at risk of developing a urinary tract infection. If you have any symptoms, do not hesitate to consult us.
If you eat very salty foods, if you suffer from a calcium deficiency or if you do not hydrate enough: you are at a greater risk of developing urinary lithiasis (kidney stones). If you have any symptoms, please contact us
If you are a smoker or are overweight, you are at greater risk of suffering from infertility or even prostate cancer. Should you have any questions or concerns, please consult us.
It's better to prevent...
It can’t be said often enough: the best treatment is prevention. Be alert and watch for changes in your body. If you suspect a urological problem, be aware that the urologist offers a variety of screening tests.
Why should I choose your urology clinic?
At the Cliniques Marois, we offer organized and accessible service in a warm and inviting environment. At all our clinics, we perform various minor surgical procedures to simplify your life and prevent you from having to visit us unnecessarily in the future. Minor urological surgeries requiring general or spinal anesthesia are performed in a private, accredited hospital in Montréal.
From the very first consultation, you will be comforted by our urologists' courteous and benevolent approach, in addition to their expertise and professionalism.
A network of urology clinics across Québec
In order to meet the needs of its clientele across Québec, Les Cliniques Marois has three distinct branches: in St-Hubert (South Shore), Laval and Québec City.
Dr Marois and Dr Ouellette conduct in-person consultations at all three clinics. This allows them to offer a wide range of urology and sexual health treatments across Québec, in addition to his surgical practice at the Metropolitan Surgery Center in Montréal.
All of the Cliniques Marois in Québec welcome and treat men, women and children alike.

I choose to visit Dr. Marois after abdominal complications. I took an appointment for Friday April 17. Dr. Marois has a very calm demeanor. He listened carefully to my history, reviewed my previous tests and gave me careful examination. He then outlined the problem and then gave me three paths to follow (physio and lifestyle as well as medical). Reflecting on this a day after, I think the most important ingredient was he put me at ease of mind with respect to the problem and the opinions he gave me will hopefully help resolve the issue in the long run. Thank you Dr. Marois
We are so happy that you had a positive and reassuring experience at our clinics! Thank you for your comment!
The first private women urologist in Quebec joining Les Cliniques Marois!
The entire Cliniques Marois team is enthusiastic, stimulated and particularly proud to welcome Dr. Geneviève Desbiens, the first woman urologist in a private clinic in Quebec.
Dr. Desbiens, originally from the Saguenay region, she has completed her specialization as a urology surgeon in 2003, a master's degree in biomedical sciences and a Doctorate in Administration (PhD) in 2017. She came to Montreal to pursue her desire to become a urologist. Wanting to make a difference by spending more time with each patient, she decided to devote herself exclusively to private practice, joining Les Cliniques Marois in 2021. Spontaneously, she does not hesitate to use humor to break taboos and values difference without judgment. Many LGBTQI patients feel comfortable and come to her for consultation. A health problem or illness, she says, is neither a joke or an easy thing to go through, but feeling respected, well-equipped and guided makes a big difference.
A warm welcome to Dr. Geneviève Desbiens among us!
Dr. Marois is a urologist who is not a member of the Régie de l’Assurance Maladie du Québec (RAMQ). As such, if you require his professional services, you will have to pay directly the Cliniques Marois for the services rendered.
Cancellation Policy:
To ensure the smooth running of the clinics aa well as a minimum of courtesy towards other patients and staff members, we ask you to notify us 48 hours in advance for cancelling an appointment, 5 working days for cancelling a minor surgery in the office and 21 working days for major surgery at the CMC. If these deadlines are not respected, a cancellation fee of 50% of the service will be charged.

We understand that events occur and schedules change, so we ask patients to give us at least a 24-hour notice for any changes of appointment. We will be happy to reschedule another one for you. Failure to provide such notice within this timeframe will result in a $ 100 fee.
