Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with an importance on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for conditions ranging from typical problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet routinely experience.
