Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four 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 resembles traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging health care instruction with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for conditions ranging from conventional afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet typically encounter.
