Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with a stress on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle issues extending from simple ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet normally encounter.
