Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After securing 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 completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable health care instruction with a main focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to care for issues ranging from standard conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet usually encounter.
