Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained significant health care training with a focus on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with conditions ranging from typical ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which provide them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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 perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet usually encounter.
