Areas of specialty: Foot and Ankle
Dr. Oliver J. Gagné is an Orthopaedic Surgeon in the Department of Orthopaedics at St. Paul’s Hospital. Born and raised in Amqui, Québec, his first job was working on his family’s maple syrup farm. He completed medical school at McGill University and, after passing his Canadian medical licensing exams, moved to the west coast to complete his orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of British Columbia (UBC).
He then moved to New York City to complete a Foot and Ankle Fellowship at the Hospital for Special Surgery. Upon completing his fellowship, he joined the orthopaedic surgery team at St. Paul’s Hospital and earned an executive master’s degree from the London School of Economics.
He currently serves as the program director for the UBC Foot and Ankle Reconstruction Fellowship and manages the resident affairs portfolio. Additionally, he is involved in working groups for the new St. Paul’s Hospital and delivers care to vulnerable inner-city populations in downtown Vancouver. In 2026, his practice merged with Dr. Murray Penner’s practice following Dr. Penner’s retirement, with a specific focus on ankle replacements.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Gagné is an avid skier, swimmer, and cyclist. He enjoys travelling with his wife and son, and always has a better day when it starts with a morning cappuccino.
