Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in education, 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 corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained substantial medical training with a main focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for conditions extending from general ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
