Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive healthcare instruction with an importance on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to deal with issues extending from normal ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet generally encounter.
