Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for problems ranging from standard disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks.
