Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about ten 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 have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with a main focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are studied to handle concerns ranging from general afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet usually experience.
