Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat concerns varying from typical ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet frequently experience.
