Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired substantial medical instruction with a main focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems ranging from common ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.
