Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After obtaining 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 fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical education with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with concerns extending from regular ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the skill vital to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet usually encounter.
