Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant health care training with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle issues ranging from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience needed to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet routinely encounter.
