Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical training with a stress on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle conditions ranging from typical problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
