Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree.
