Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical education with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with concerns extending from normal problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
