Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical education with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to deal with issues stretching from general conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise required to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
