Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to deal with difficulties stretching from simple conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
