Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle.

Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing health care education with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address difficulties varying from usual problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.
