Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with conditions extending from normal problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
