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 podiatrists invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to handle difficulties extending from regular disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet frequently experience.
