Dr. Julie Gauvreau

Children’s Podiatrist / Clinic Owner

A passion for podiatry and the well-being of little feet. Passionate and dedicated podiatrist, provides high-quality care that combines scientific rigor, compassion, and innovation to ensure the well-being of patients of all ages.

Dr. Julie Gauvreau, podiatrist, is dedicated to her patients by providing high-quality care and continuously expanding her competencies through advanced training programs. Her goal is to deliver services and skills that meet the highest professional standards.

Passionate not only about podiatry but also about pediatric podiatry, traumatology, and medical imaging of the foot and ankle, Dr. Gauvreau earned her Doctorate in Podiatric Medicine in 2014. During her final year of study, she completed an externship at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, where she gained extensive experience in hospital settings, particularly in surgery, wound care, medical imaging, and orthopedics.

Motivated by her professional curiosity, she pursued an additional three-month training at NYCPM in collaboration with pediatric podiatry professors, allowing her to provide specific and comprehensive care to the pediatric population of Aylmer. Dr. Gauvreau also holds a certificate in radiology, is a member of the American College of Foot and Ankle Pediatrics (ACFAP), and is certified in soft tissue surgery from the University of Guelph. She has completed Level 1 certification in foot and ankle ultrasound and dermatoscopy training accredited by Dermatoscopy Canada. Driven by a desire to improve access to care, she is currently in the process of obtaining her Ontario license to better serve patients. 

Committed to personal and professional growth, she participates in numerous leadership and coaching programs to become the best entrepreneur she can be in the field of podiatry. This ongoing development allows her to support her team effectively, ensure strong and compassionate human resource management, and maintain exceptional service quality within her clinic.

As a natural educator, she serves as a clinical instructor for final-year podiatry students and as a mentor to young female entrepreneurs in the field.

Warm, enthusiastic, and attentive, Dr. Gauvreau places her patients’ well-being at the heart of her practice. She strongly values multidisciplinary collaboration—working closely with orthopedic surgeons, physicians, chiropractors, physiotherapists, and osteopaths—to achieve the best possible outcomes. Actively involved in her community, she supports the Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Gatineau, helping promote children’s health and wellness in the Outaouais region.

Driven by intellectual curiosity and professional rigor, Dr. Gauvreau is committed to continuing education and to advancing her profession as both a lecturer and a former member of the Continuing Education Committee.
