Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to deal with difficulties ranging from general disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
