Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle complications ranging from usual disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet generally experience.
