Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are qualified to deal with problems varying from general conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
