Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical education with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from regular ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally 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 carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
