Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant medical training with a stress on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage conditions extending from typical problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet normally encounter.
