Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat problems stretching from commonplace ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet typically experience.
