Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant healthcare instruction with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to care for difficulties stretching from common problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
