Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive healthcare training with a main focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat difficulties extending from usual ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the skill needed to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet generally experience.
