Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for complications stretching from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

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 submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet commonly experience.
