Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle issues ranging from standard ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which give them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
