Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care training with a focus on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat conditions ranging from general afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
