Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired significant medical training with an importance on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle complications extending from regular ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities.
