Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot.

Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive medical training with an importance on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with conditions stretching from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
