Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care instruction with a stress on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage conditions extending from general conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet routinely experience.
