Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial healthcare training with an attention to on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle issues ranging from common afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.
