Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical education with a concentration on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address problems ranging from regular ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet commonly experience.
