Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical training with a stress on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to handle conditions varying from usual afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
