Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained encompassing health care training with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address concerns varying from conventional ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the prior experience vital to carry out surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.
