Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with a focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle complications varying from common ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill crucial to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet routinely experience.
