Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with complications ranging from simple ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet generally experience.
