Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and many podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with a main focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to address difficulties ranging from usual afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the skill vital to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet commonly experience.
