Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot.

After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical training with a focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with problems ranging from commonplace ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.
