Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree.
