Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address complications ranging from general conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which supply them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
