Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat issues varying from standard ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
