Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial health care education with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with concerns stretching from regular conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience required to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
