Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot.

Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care instruction with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address concerns stretching from basic ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.
