Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical training with a focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address concerns varying from simple ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
