Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with a stress on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems varying from usual disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet commonly encounter.
