Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care training with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for complications ranging from basic problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which provide them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
