Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical instruction with a focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems ranging from typical problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet commonly experience.
