Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and numerous podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive health care training with a main focus on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage issues stretching from normal ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the expertise needed to conduct surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet generally encounter.
