Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired significant medical training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems ranging from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
