Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical education with a main focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage concerns ranging from general conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the practical experience vital to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet frequently experience.
