Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and several podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with a concentration on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to address problems extending from standard ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
