Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat issues stretching from commonplace problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the skill essential to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
