Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant healthcare training with an emphasis on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for difficulties stretching from common ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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 deviations allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet typically experience.
