Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive health care instruction with an importance on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to handle conditions varying from simple conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet typically experience.
