Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant healthcare training with an importance on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to manage problems stretching from commonplace problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet normally encounter.
