Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree.
