Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with a stress on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle problems stretching from common disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet typically encounter.
