Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about ten 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 acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical training with a main focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to address concerns ranging from general disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet typically encounter.
