Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive health care instruction with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle problems varying from familiar disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the prior experience required to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
