Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat problems varying from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.
