Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to care for conditions ranging from normal conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which give them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
