Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive 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 actually many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to care for issues stretching from general afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
