Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging health care education with a stress on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat conditions extending from general ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which supply them the skill crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.
