Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained substantial medical education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for problems varying from typical ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet regularly experience.
