Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable health care education with a stress on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with issues ranging from typical afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated 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 submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
