Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging healthcare instruction with a focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to handle problems ranging from general ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the skill vital to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet routinely experience.
