Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical training with a concentration on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for complications varying from conventional disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
