Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact many podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive healthcare education with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from usual ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet normally experience.
