Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain 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 several podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive medical education with a concentration on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle conditions extending from simple conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet routinely experience.
