Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive health care education with a concentration on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle concerns extending from typical ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the prior experience required to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
