Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree.
