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 put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are studied to care for problems stretching from standard ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet normally encounter.
