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 foot and ankle. Our doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical training with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to manage complications extending from familiar afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the practical experience vital to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
