Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle.

Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical education with an attention to on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to manage conditions stretching from commonplace problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.
