Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree.
