Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage complications ranging from general disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet normally encounter.
