Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical education with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to manage complications ranging from conventional conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the skill vital to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet normally encounter.
