Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot.

Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough health care instruction with an attention to on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to manage complications ranging from commonplace disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks.
