Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to care for problems stretching from typical ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
