Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot.

Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical training with an attention to on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with conditions ranging from regular conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the expertise vital to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.
