Alexandra is our Head Chiropodist at the Royal City Foot Clinic. She first became interested in healthcare after pursuing a Biology degree with specialization in Health Science from Trent University. Alexandra then relocated to Guelph to pursue her Masters Degree in molecular biology, in which she studied the influenza virus. After completing her graduate studies and realizing she preferred a clinical setting over a laboratory, she enrolled in the Chiropody Program at the Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences. She has been in practice since 2016.

Alexandra is dedicated to working with her patients to help them with pain-free mobility. She is committed to keeping her knowledge current, and regularly engages in continuing education to maintain a pulse on new and emerging treatment modalities for her patients. Alexandra is passionate about biomechanics, and specializes in treating plantar fasciitis, ankle instability, and other chronic pain conditions. She recently became certified as a “Barefoot Training Specialist” and is integrating foot strengthening and exercise into her pain management plans to optimize pain relief for patients. She also performs plantar fasciotomy surgery in the office when necessary.

In her downtime, Alexandra loves cooking, getting outside, running, and hanging out with her husband Nathan and two young children Nova, and Felix.

Wendy Hoxha is a licensed Chiropodist at the Royal City Foot Clinic. She has previous hands-on experience working at the Michener Chiropody Clinic, Waterloo Foot Clinic and the Diabetes Center at Health Sciences North (in Sudbury, ON). Prior to completing her Chiropody degree at the Michener Institute at University Health Network (UHN), she completed a Biomedical Biology Degree at Laurentian University in her hometown of Sudbury, ON.

Wendy has been interested in medicine from a young age. She has always wanted to lend a helping hand and become a member of the medical field. Throughout high school and university, she has provided hundreds of hours of volunteer service at her local hospital (Health Sciences North). She also travelled to Cuzco, Peru in 2014 to provide assistance to hospital personnel at Clinica Salud Zarzuela. A former classmate in the field of Chiropody suggested she apply to the program due to her caring attitude, effective communication skills and interest in anatomy and biomechanics. As a graduate of the program, her current podiatric interests include foot surgeries, wound management, wart treatments, and diabetic foot care.

Outside of Chiropody, Wendy has a wide variety of hobbies such as travelling, hiking, cooking, sketching and spending time with friends and family. If you have any podiatric concerns, Wendy is looking forward to meeting you!
