Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive health care training with a stress on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat problems stretching from familiar afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet normally encounter.
