Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough healthcare training with an attention to on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with issues stretching from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
