Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial health care training with an importance on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat conditions varying from basic ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience required to carry out surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet regularly experience.
