Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable health care training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle issues extending from normal conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
