Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After procuring 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 residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical instruction with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to address problems varying from conventional problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive knowledge 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet usually experience.
