About

Hi!

​

I’m Ashleigh McCullagh-Cheung, the Travel Clinic physician. I like travelling. I am a mom of two young kids. Along with my husband, we live in Dundas.

​

I hold a medical degree from Queen’s University Belfast, UK (2008). I trained as a family physician in picturesque Cornwall, England. After family medicine training, I pursued a Master’s in Global Health and Development (University College London, UK 2014).

 

I obtained a Certificate in Travel Health, through the International Society of Travel Medicine (2019). After having my daughter, I decided to change gears from full-time family practice to focusing on 2 passions: travel health and reproductive health.

How it works (temp)

"My travel health consult with Dr. McCullagh-Cheung was a great experience. Dr. McCullagh-Cheung was very well prepared and knowledgeable, did a great job explaining any health risks and recommending precautions for my upcoming trip."

E. B., 35

“As a first time international-traveller, Dr. McCullagh-Cheung made this process very smooth. She was informative, took the time to discuss my options and made me feel well-prepared for my trip.”

M. H., 19

“I came to Dr. McCullagh-Cheung in regards to my trip to South East Asia. She was very thorough and detailed indicating the different diseases in the countries I was visiting, prevention methods, and the right medication and vaccination to receive. From this, I was also able to receive my vaccinations through her."

Pharmacy Partnerships

For your convenience, we have partnered with 15 Whole Health pharmacies across Ontario (locations listed below). This means that after you have your virtual consult by phone or video with the doctor, you have the option of getting recommended prescriptions sent to one of our partner pharmacies. The pharmacy will contact you to set up an appointment so you can pick up prescriptions and get any recommended shots (note: an additional fee applies if you are getting shots - $20 for one injection, $35 for multiple injections).

 

Benefits of using a partnering pharmacy: they keep travel medications and vaccines in stock and the pharmacists have experience administering vaccines to patients 5 and over. All partner pharmacies are able to administer all travel vaccines and associated documentation including Yellow fever vaccine, and the International Certificate of Prophylaxis. 

​

Costs

Although travel medicine is not covered under OHIP, many extended health insurance plans will provide reimbursement for travel vaccines and medications. If you have a health spending account, this can be used to cover the cost of the doctor's visit itself.
