Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable medical training with a concentration on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with difficulties stretching from general problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
