Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical training with a focus on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage problems varying from normal ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
