Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing healthcare instruction with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems stretching from general problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet commonly experience.
