Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough medical education with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat problems ranging from typical afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which give them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
