Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete 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 obtained thorough medical training with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems stretching from basic problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
