Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and various podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained comprehensive health care training with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems extending from typical ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
