Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough medical education with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with complications ranging from common ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet typically encounter.
