Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree.
