Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging medical education with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are studied to deal with difficulties ranging from usual afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet normally encounter.
