Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to address concerns stretching from common conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the expertise crucial to conduct surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet typically experience.
