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. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive healthcare training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat issues ranging from standard problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet usually encounter.
