Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable medical education with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with problems ranging from conventional afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience required to execute surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet routinely experience.
