Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot.

Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing healthcare education with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles.
