Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive health care training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for complications ranging from normal problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet generally experience.
