Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle problems extending from standard disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which give them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet usually encounter.
