Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish 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 physicians have received extensive healthcare training with a stress on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for difficulties varying from typical problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
