Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough health care training with an attention to on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues stretching from familiar ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the practical experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet normally experience.
