Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate 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 standard medical school and several podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial medical training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle difficulties extending from normal afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet usually experience.
