Dr. Ian Russell, Specialized Calgary Foot Doctor
As a member of the College of Podiatric Physicians of Alberta, the Canadian Podiatric Medical Association and the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, Dr. Russell has completed an extensive academic curriculum to serve the Calgary community as a reputable podiatrist.
After earning his undergraduate degree from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, Dr. Russell attended the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine in Cleveland (Ohio, U.S.), where he earned his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degree. He expanded his expertise by accepting a two-year surgical residency from Kennedy Health Systems in New Jersey. This practical experience has proven to be an asset in his diagnosis and treatment of patients ever since.
Dr. Russell enjoys spending time with his family, especially when walking his dog, Lola, around Calgary's beautiful pathways. He and his wife, Ana, have happily made the great city of Calgary their home since 1998. Ian enjoys walking, skiing, and racquet sports. He particularly enjoys biking with Lola.
Foot Surgery Accreditation in Alberta
Podiatric surgeons in Alberta should be actively certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery (ABFAS). Dr. Russell is one of the few podiatric surgeons in Calgary to have a private surgery facility on-site at the Dalhousie Station Foot Clinic.
Our private surgical suites abide by the industry’s sterilization standards and follow strict practice guidelines. As a Board-Certified podiatric surgeon and a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (FACFAS), Dr. Russell is Calgary’s known foot doctor with extensive practical experience, specializing in bunion and toe surgery.

Podiatric Education
The podiatric medicine curriculum takes up to eight years to complete. Four years of undergraduate medical science studies and an additional four years at an accredited College of Podiatric Medicine are required. Once the DPM degree is obtained, the podiatrist must complete a residency program (two to four years) at a qualifying healthcare institution. Read our blogs for more information.
About Podiatrists
The work of podiatrists emphasizes the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various human foot and ankle conditions. In their analysis, podiatrists advise clients about preventive and corrective measures to reduce physical pain and prescribe medical and surgical solutions. Although podiatry services are not fully funded in Alberta, the need for podiatrists is increasing in demand due to disorders of the lower extremities that are commonly neglected.
