Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical education with a stress on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with difficulties ranging from common problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet regularly experience.
