Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable health care training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with problems extending from general disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise 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 tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet usually encounter.
