Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive health care training with a main focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to manage issues stretching from general ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which give them the skill required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet routinely encounter.
