Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat difficulties stretching from common conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
