Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree.

After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address conditions stretching from general afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which give them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities.
