Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with difficulties ranging from familiar problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet typically encounter.
