Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant medical training with an importance on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for problems varying from simple disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
