Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired significant health care education with a concentration on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems stretching from regular conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
