Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained encompassing healthcare training with an importance on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage complications extending from usual afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet normally experience.
