Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired thorough healthcare education with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to manage concerns varying from normal afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise vital to execute surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent a large number of troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
