Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care training with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat concerns extending from regular ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet regularly experience.
