Our Podiatric clinic
About our Podiatric Clinic
The St-Charles Podiatric Clinic is a family business that has been established in the west of the island of Montreal for several decades.
Established more than thirty years ago, the Clinic was built by Marc Tranchemontagne, former president of the Ordre des podiatres Québec and one of the key members of the Foundation of Podiatry in Quebec. Following his death a few years ago, his son Dr. Martin Tranchemontagne, a podiatrist, resumed the practice and in turn became the first son of a podiatrist who graduated from the Faculty of Podiatric Medicine at the University of Quebec in Trois-Rivières.
The iconic building of the city of Pierrefonds stands out for its white and green façade, hexagonal in shape which is located on one of the main arteries connecting the cities of Kirkland and Pierrefonds.
We are committed every day to providing the best service in foot care! Our mission is to raise awareness, educate and care for the feet in a warm and inviting environment.
Our expertise as a pillar in the field of podiatry makes us the clinic of choice on the Island of Montreal.
