Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive health care training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with problems stretching from basic problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet generally encounter.
