Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive health care training with a stress on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to handle problems extending from general problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet usually experience.
