The Foot Institute operates one of Alberta's largest networks of foot clinics, with 25+ locations serving Edmonton, Calgary, and throughout the province. This wide network makes it convenient for seniors to find a clinic near home or in an area where they spend time seasonally, a practical advantage for older adults managing ongoing foot care.
The clinic addresses many conditions common in aging feet: arthritis, bunions, corns and calluses, fungal toenails, heel pain, and diabetes-related foot complications. They offer comprehensive services including foot care, custom orthotics, foot surgery, laser fungal nail treatment, and shockwave therapy, treatments often needed by seniors managing chronic foot pain or age-related conditions.
The Foot Institute has been in business for 28 years and operates two accredited surgery centres, indicating established expertise and quality standards. Their team includes multiple podiatrists (Doctors of Podiatric Medicine) across locations. While the website does not specify geriatric specialization, their extensive experience treating thousands of patients and long-standing presence in Alberta suggests familiarity with older adult foot care needs.

I arrived at my appointment early, was greeted and completed some paperwork, taken in to a room for the laser treatment. I finished treatment of 12 mins, paid and left office the exact time that I was booked to have the appointment… how is that for efficiency?! I couldn’t ask for anything else..Experience was great, I will be back!

Trust the reviews. I had to wait over an hour past my scheduled appointment time to be seen by Dr. Smith, only to receive unbelievably poor service afterward. I went in for treatment of ingrown toenails and left shocked that someone with her qualifications could have such poor bedside manner. She briefly trimmed the edges of my nails but did nothing to actually address the ingrown portions or provide any relief. Instead, I was told I would need to have them permanently removed and was even offered a “discount” for doing both sides at once. To make matters worse, she was extremely rough with my already sore and inflamed toes throughout the appointment. I left in the same pain I arrived in and genuinely felt like I could have provided myself the same level of “treatment” at home. My toenails were still so bad afterward that I ended up booking an appointment with another podiatrist at a different clinic the following week to actually have the issue properly treated. I also made sure to inform my insurance provider about the lack of service and care I received. The only positive part of the experience was the front desk staff, who were kind, apologetic about the excessive wait, and appreciative of my patience. Paying $100 after waiting that long for virtually no care or relief was honestly shocking. I would not recommend Dr. Smith to anyone.

Dr. Leavitt did a fantastic job with diagnosing and performing my hemi toe joint replacement. Frank discussion about various treatment options and possible outcomes was thorough and current. I was able to determine what procedure would be best for me, and felt comfortable with my expectations. He did the hemi surgery in January, 2026. I have gone from about 15% flexibility at the time of surgery, to about 80% of full flex. I am still in the healing stage - and after living with reduced flex in this joint for 40 years - achieving 80% is life-changing progress. I no longer have issues with gait or hip pain, and am very, very happy with the results.
