Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Calgary Downtown Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Calgary Downtown specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive healthcare education with a main focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage problems ranging from standard afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent a large number of conditions which the feet typically encounter.
