Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable medical training with a stress on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle problems extending from basic disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the practical experience required to execute surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet commonly experience.
