Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical training with a focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat issues extending from common problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the skill vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet normally encounter.
