Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial healthcare education with a stress on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with conditions stretching from familiar conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which give them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet usually encounter.
