Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained extensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to care for problems varying from regular ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet regularly experience.
