Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle.

After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address problems extending from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which provide them the expertise vital to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
