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. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address issues ranging from simple conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet usually experience.
