Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon acquiring 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 fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant healthcare education with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat problems varying from basic conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet commonly experience.
