Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough health care instruction with an importance on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to handle problems varying from general ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
