Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical education with a focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to address complications varying from general conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the skill vital to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
