Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical training with a concentration on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to address complications extending from general ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet generally experience.
