Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat problems ranging from common ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet generally encounter.
