PiedRéseau Verdun Podiatrists and orthotics

Owner of the Southwest Podiatry Clinic in Verdun, Dr. Lounes Laoudi, podiatrist, has been practicing for over 5 years. Before heading his own establishment, Lounes Laoudi, DPM, was able to confirm his expertise by joining Dr. Rivard’s team, podiatrist, in Saint-Hyacinthe.

Now established in Verdun, the practitioner offers a well-established range of podiatric treatments that demonstrates real know-how.

A range of therapies enhanced by training

Like his colleagues, Dr. Laoudi holds a Doctorate in Podiatric Medicine from the University of Quebec in Trois-Rivières. To solidify his knowledge, he also had to complete a 4-month internship at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine.

With the aim of leaving nothing to chance, Dr. Laoudi, podiatrist, has also participated in additional training dedicated to the creation of therapeutic bandages.

Meticulous in his approach, Lounes Laoudi, DPM, holds a radiology license as well as a certificate in foot ultrasound.

Although he enjoys working with a diverse clientele, the combination of his certifications and his interest in biomechanics allows him to provide good advice to athletes.

To do this, the podiatrist employs techniques such as:

• Biomechanical examination;
• Manual foot therapy;
• Therapeutic bandaging (taping);
• Therapeutic laser;
• Shockwave therapy;
• Custom sports orthotics.

A conscientious podiatrist

Very responsive to the needs of the less fortunate, Dr. Laoudi, podiatrist, has already provided foot care at the community clinic of the Maison Lauberivière. On several occasions, he has also volunteered to present the workings of his podiatric discipline to doctors.

With his podiatric practice focused on responsiveness, Dr. Lounes Laoudi offers you his reliable treatments and keen eye.

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

Holding a broad knowledge base in the field of health, it was in 2018 that Dr. Ron Terry Bustillo, podiatrist, obtained his Doctorate in Podiatric Medicine.

A martial arts and fitness enthusiast, Dr. Bustillo channels his experience as a physiotherapist to enhance his interventions in podiatry.

Today, his talents and expertise allow him to wonderfully complement the team at the Southwest Podiatric Clinic.

An Impressive Educational Journey

It is Dr. Bustillo’s keen interest in health sciences and the functioning of the human body that directed his academic path towards podiatry.

Initially trained in physiology at McGill University, he continued by engaging in exercise science studies. Later, he completed a master’s degree in cardiovascular physiology.

Not satisfied with this impressive series of degrees, Dr. Bustillo began the Doctorate in Podiatric Medicine at UQTR in 2014. During the following four years, internships in hospital settings allowed him to refine his practice, especially regarding diabetic foot.

Today, Dr. Bustillo, podiatrist, holds a radiology license and a certificate in foot ultrasound that grant him the right to:

• Perform ultrasound-guided injections;
• Carry out ultrasound-guided interventions for a colleague’s patients;
• Identify the source of foot pain;
• Make a diagnosis of a pathology or rule out others.

An Attentive and Informed Podiatrist

Dr. Bustillo’s unique vision regarding biomechanics and sports podiatry has been built through his multiple professional involvements.

For a long time, the former kinesiologist was at the helm of a conditioning center, even holding the position of head coach within the Quebec Taekwondo Federation.

Thus, whether you are an athlete, a diabetic person, or someone seeking well-thought-out podiatric treatment, podiatrist Ron Terry Bustillo has the necessary synthesis skills to guide you.
