Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging medical training with an importance on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with difficulties varying from normal ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the skill required to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet normally experience.
