Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant healthcare instruction with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle problems extending from standard ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet typically encounter.
