Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions.

Our Doctors are taught to deal with problems stretching from simple ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
