Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive health care training with an importance on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat complications varying from general ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet routinely encounter.
