Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical education with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems extending from simple ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet commonly experience.
