Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare training with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage difficulties varying from general problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
