Who We Are

Our Mission

We promise to...

Bruyere Foot Specialists started back in 2002 with a staff of 4 Chiropodists and 1 receptionist, and was located in the Elisabeth Bruyere Hospital. In 2007, the 4 Chiropodists each went their own way and Stefanie is now maintaining an amazing clinic with 1 Phone Coordinator, 1 Receptionist, 1 Office Manager and 2 Clinical Assistant to help serve you with the best care possible.

A Chiropodist specializes in the assessment of the foot, and the treatment and prevention of diseases, disorders or dysfunctions of the foot by therapeutic, orthotic or palliative means. Stefanie will do everything you can to help your feet in a non surgical way.

Stefanie is a member in good standing with the College of Chiropodists of Ontario since 1987 (www.cocoo.on.ca)

Provide the highest quality Chiropody foot care to individuals of all ages with the best utilization of our resources. Our goal is: Not only to alleviate pain and help you maintain good foot health but also to educate you to become and active participant in your own foot health.


Value and respect the uniqueness and diversity of all individuals.
Provide a caring and compassionate environment in which a patient’s concerns are actively listened to, keeping them well informed and practice good humor.

Our Equipment

Clean and sterilized instruments

Do we use sterilized instruments?  Yes!

We take great care to make sure that any instrument that either contacts or cuts into your skin or nail is sterilized.  Autoclaving (sterilizing under high pressure using hot steam) is the only sure way to sterilize instruments.

Before our instruments are autoclaved we place the instruments in an ultrasonic bath to clean any debris in the crevices or grooves of the instruments.  After the ultrasonic cleaning, the instruments are dried and wrapped in packages that have a special piece of tape on each that changes color when the autoclaving is successful.

Soaking instruments in a disinfectant is not a guaranteed way to kill nail fungus or bacteria.

You will notice that our office opens a sterile package of instruments for every patient every time right in front of you, the patient.

STEF NEW NEW WEBSIE PIC

Registered Chiropodist

Hi, I’m Stefanie. I am the owner and the Chiropodist. I have been tickling feet for over 33 years now and its still a great joy for me to help people have healthier and more pain-free feet. I started in this field due to my father having an ingrown toenail when I was 16. I saw the foot specialist work on my Dad’s toe and I was instantly hooked!!! I have the gift of language: I speak English, French, Flemish and German. A new passion has come to light in the last 2 years: I love to paint. So while you wait in our reception lounge, you can enjoy my paintings! I also enjoy coloring my hair - so its your guess what color I'll be at your next appointment!
