Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive health care education with an importance on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage difficulties stretching from basic disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which furnish them the prior experience crucial to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet generally experience.
