Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems extending from simple conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet commonly experience.
