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. They spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems ranging from commonplace conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet frequently encounter.
