Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat concerns varying from common conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet usually encounter.
