Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to address issues ranging from commonplace conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet usually experience.
