Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant health care training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat concerns ranging from general ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
