Dr. Johanne Sorelle, podiatrist

As far back as I can remember, I have always wanted to be part of the healthcare system so that I could take care of people. However, I began my university studies in industrial engineering at Polytechnique de Montréal. I soon realized that it was not for me and switched to medical biology. It was in this program that I realized that I had a real passion for the medical field as well as the aptitude to be part of it. After obtaining my bachelor's degree in medical biology in 2019, I started podiatric medicine where I graduated in 2024.

I am known for being meticulous with my patients because for me, it is important that the patient feels comfortable, listened to and that they feel my commitment to providing them with quality care.

The skills I have acquired throughout my different educational paths will enable me to achieve my goals. Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about cooking, traveling and television series. Traveling allows me to discover this vast world we live in and I find it fascinating how human behavior can be different from one country to another. It is this difference in cultures, traditions and architecture that fascinates me. Cuisine is also connected to it because while traveling I discover dishes from elsewhere that I can reproduce in my own way once back in Canada.

Patience, respect, empathy, self-sacrifice are values learned throughout my travels and which will serve me in my profession as a podiatrist in order to always put my patients ahead of what I do.
