Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive healthcare training with a main focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to deal with conditions varying from standard problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the prior experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet generally encounter.
